Summary

Armand Larive Middle School is a grade 6–8 school serving 722 students in Hermiston, Oregon, where about 92% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and it is part of Hermiston School District 8. Statewide, it ranked 189th of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–26, placing it in the 49th percentile with 2 stars — right at the state average, though below its own high point of 74th percentile and 4 stars in 2018–19. The district itself ranks 55th of 141 statewide.

Academically, math is the clearest strength: 34.6% of students met standards, above both the district (32.3%) and state (32.9%), with 6th grade math reaching 43.8%. English language arts sits at 37.5%, below the district and state, and science is the weakest area at 19.7% — about 11 points below the state. Compared with Sandstone Middle School, the district's other middle school, Armand Larive is stronger in math but weaker in ELA and science, which gives families a useful side-by-side. Armand Larive is far stronger academically than Clara Brownell Middle School in Umatilla School District 6R, and it generally outperforms Windy River Elementary School and Irrigon Elementary School in Morrow School District 1, though those schools serve grades 4–6, so the comparison is not exact.

Attendance has improved steadily, with chronic absenteeism falling from 38.7% in 2022–23 to 29.6% in 2024–25, better than district and state averages. Per-student spending is $19,893 and the student-teacher ratio is 16.6, better than Sandstone's 19.6. Several student groups, including low-income and migrant students, rank above the school's overall standing, while special education students and English Language Learners rank notably lower — a gap worth asking about. The biggest opportunities appear to be 8th grade science, 7th and 8th grade ELA, and targeted support for those groups.
