Summary

Walter L Kraxberger Middle School is a 343-student school serving grades 6–8 in Gladstone, Oregon (17777 Webster Rd), part of Gladstone School District 115, and it is by far the smallest school in its local comparison group — roughly a third the size of Happy Valley Middle School and Alder Creek Middle School.

After three steady years around the 50th–52nd percentile statewide (3 stars), Kraxberger fell to the 25th percentile (278th of 371, 1 star) in 2025-26 — about a 100-position drop in one year. Math is the clearest weak spot: 17.2% proficiency versus 32.9% statewide, the lowest of 11 nearby schools, and well below comparable-poverty neighbors such as Happy Valley (37.4%) and Rowe Middle School (22.4%). Reading (36.1% vs. 43.8%) and science (19.3% vs. 30.6%) are also below state averages, though less severely. A genuine strength: chronic absenteeism (30.3% in 2024-25) is better than both the state (33.5%) and the district (31.3%), and attendance has stayed flat while achievement dropped — so the academic slide is not an attendance story.

Resources aren't the obstacle. Kraxberger spends $21,807 per student, third-highest of the 11 schools, with a student-teacher ratio (16.9) lower than most neighbors — yet Rosemont Ridge Middle School spends about $5,200 less per student and posts 52.7% math. Worth noting: the share of low-income students rose from 38.6% to 62.7% in two years, and every measured student group declined in 2025-26, including low-income students (19th percentile) and special education students (1st percentile). The decline is school-wide rather than limited to one group, and because nearby schools with similar demographics and fewer resources get better math results, the gap looks addressable rather than structural.

Complete zoo. Kids running around “cutting” with pencil sharpener blades stashed in their binders. Worst experience with a school ever. Kids run the place and do a poor job of it. Close Quote
