Summary

Alice Ott Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 594 students at 12500 SE Ramona St in southeast Portland, and it is the smallest of the three middle schools in David Douglas School District 40.

In 2025–26, 38.7% of students met standards in English language arts, 26.2% in math, and 22.0% in science. That is above its district in ELA and math but below the state in all three subjects — in practice, roughly 6 in 10 students are not proficient in ELA, about 3 in 4 are not in math, and about 4 in 5 fall short in science. The standout strength is attendance: chronic absenteeism fell to 24.8% in 2024–25 from 35.2% in 2020–21, better than both its district (34.5%) and the state (33.5%). Among nearby middle schools, only Happy Valley Middle School (21.7%) and Harrison Park School (23.2%) have lower absenteeism.

Statewide, the school ranked 227th of 371 Oregon middle schools (39th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26, down from 4 stars and the 82nd percentile in 2014–15. It is essentially tied within its district with Floyd Light Middle School, ahead of Ron Russell Middle School and Centennial Middle School, and behind the North Clackamas and Portland schools nearby. The most informative comparison is Harrison Park School: similar student poverty and similar absenteeism, yet 50.2% ELA and 43.0% math, with $39,323 per student and a 13.4:1 ratio versus Alice Ott's $24,805 and 18.0:1. By student group, gifted students rank in the 83rd percentile and low-income students in the 57th, while special education (24th) and English learners (27th) lag. Seventh-grade math (20.7%) is the only grade-level result below the district average.
