Summary

Duniway Middle School is a public middle school located in McMinnville, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 778 students. The school is part of the McMinnville School District 40, which is ranked 33 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Duniway Middle School consistently ranks among the top 50 middle schools in Oregon, with a ranking as high as 32 out of 367 schools in the 2021-2022 school year. The school's performance on the OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) exams is significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, Duniway's 7th-grade students scored 67.1% proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 53.3% for the district and 44.2% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong in mathematics, with 6th-grade students scoring 42.7% proficient or better, compared to 37% for the district and 29.3% for the state.

Duniway Middle School excels in serving its diverse student population, ranking among the top 25 Oregon middle schools for Hispanic students, top 30 for White students, and top 15 for multi-racial students. The school's performance is also noteworthy for its low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the top 12 Oregon middle schools in this category. However, the school has experienced an increase in chronic absenteeism over the past few years, rising from 23.5% in 2021-2022 to 34.3% in 2023-2024, which is an area of concern that the school and district may need to address.
