Summary

Lake Oswego Middle School is a public school serving grades 6–8 in the suburban community of Lake Oswego, Oregon, with 791 students enrolled in Lake Oswego School District 7J, the second-ranked district out of 141 in Oregon.

By the numbers, Lake Oswego Middle School is one of the state's strongest middle schools: 21st of 371 in 2025–2026 (94th percentile, 5 stars), and it has never dropped below 5 stars since 2014–2015. On 2025–2026 state tests, 67.3% of students were proficient in English language arts, 61.6% in math, and 56.8% in science — far above the state averages of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%, though slightly below the district's own averages. Locally, the picture is more nuanced. Sellwood Middle School posts higher ELA (77.9%) and math (71.2%), and Gray Middle School also scores higher in ELA (73.0%). The closest comparison is Lakeridge Middle School, 2.2 miles away in the same district: Lakeridge ranked 20th and Lake Oswego Middle 21st — essentially a tie, with Lakeridge stronger in ELA and science and math about even.

Some of the school's advantages are about context and resources. About 15.42% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch, the second-lowest among nearby schools, and it spends $20,171 per student with the lowest student-teacher ratio in the group (15.3). Chronic absenteeism was 18.2%, far below Oregon's 33.5% but up from 15.0% the year before and now roughly at the district average. One standout: the school ranks near the top of the state for how well it serves students in special education (3rd of 193) and low-income students (14th of 256). Grade-level results differ too — 8th grade math (57.5%) beats both the district and Lakeridge, while 8th grade ELA (60.7%) trails both.

LOJ is #10. NUMBER 10! It's too bad they don't teach them that racism is wrong. They make excuses. I'm disgusted with lake Oswego schools and the white privilege, entitled, attitude they allow and make excuses for. Your all are a "0" in my book, pathetic. Teach the kids how to treat people. That NR is hate speech. If they're parents call each other that, it's domestic violence. If a white kid, or a group of white kids call a child of color the N word, make an example out of them. You all just teach them that to carry that out as adults by making excuses for them. Dispicable!!! Close Quote
