Summary

Floyd Light Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Portland, Oregon, serving 684 students in David Douglas School District 40. In 2025–26 it ranked 221st of 371 Oregon middle schools (40th percentile, 2 stars), placing it below the state median but above its own district, which sits in the 24th percentile with 1 star. The school serves a high-poverty population; reported free/reduced-lunch eligibility was 101.3% in 2024–25, a figure that cannot be read literally but signals near-universal economic need. Chronic absenteeism was 30.5%, better than both the district (34.5%) and the state (33.5%).

Test scores are mixed. Floyd Light Middle School's ELA proficiency (37.6%) and math (28.9%) beat district averages (35.1% and 24.6%), but all three tested subjects trail the state, with science (20.2%) the clearest weakness — below the district (22.1%) and the state (30.6%). Within David Douglas, it is essentially tied with Alice Ott Middle School and well ahead of Ron Russell Middle School, and it out-scores nearby high-poverty schools such as Centennial Middle School, Oliver Middle, Hauton B Lee Middle School, and Parkrose Middle School. It trails Portland schools including Mt Tabor Middle School, Harrison Park School, Roseway Heights School, and Kellogg Middle School. Scores split sharply by grade: 6th grade is below district and state in reading and math, while 8th grade exceeds state averages in both.

Results vary by student group. The school ranks in the 90th percentile (5 stars) for African American students and 64th for White students, while its rankings for low-income, Hispanic, multi-racial, English-learner, and gifted students fall below its overall 40th-percentile standing; the gifted ranking dropped from 97th percentile in 2023–24 to 39th in 2025–26. Absenteeism remains a genuine strength. Floyd Light Middle School spends $23,637 per student — less than Alice Ott Middle School and Ron Russell Middle School — and its student-teacher ratio of 19.4 is the highest among David Douglas middle schools and has risen for three straight years.

The school should be made to fit the child not the other way around. Our public school system is in dire need of reform. It's an old dinosaur slow to change and no to change. Quality rather than quantity. Take the power away from the big wigs in the Ivory tower in Washington DC who think they know better and don't and give it back to the child and parents.. Who what where why and when should be dictated by the student and the parents.

I was originally going to rate this 3 stars, then when I thought about it and talked to my friend at a different middle school, I realized, Floyd Light Middle School sucks. There is a fight every other day and the teachers do nothing about it. The academics are some of the worst in the state and some of the worst in the country. Close Quote
