Summary

Hedrick Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6–8 with 952 students in Medford, Oregon, the largest school in its comparison group, and part of Medford School District 549C. It ranks 167th of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025-2026 (55th percentile, 3 stars), a bit above its district's 50th-percentile standing. About 86.8% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-2025, a high-poverty profile well above nearby Ashland Middle School (64.8%) and Scenic Middle School (78.8%).

Science is the standout: 36.5% proficiency, above the state (30.6%) and district averages, and nearly double McLoughlin Middle School (19.0%) and Oakdale Middle School (15.0%). Math follows the same pattern — Hedrick 30.4% versus Oakdale 24.0% and McLoughlin 21.4% — while English language arts is essentially a three-way tie near 40%. Hedrick achieves this on the lowest per-student spending of the three Medford middle schools ($16,535). Students from low-income families and students experiencing homelessness have ranked at or above the school's own overall level.

Three concerns stand out. Statewide rank has fallen four years running, from the 83rd percentile down to the 55th. Chronic absenteeism sits around 35%, higher than every out-of-district neighbor. And 6th graders trail the district in reading and math while 7th and 8th graders beat both district and state — a gap worth asking the school about. English-learner students also fell to the bottom quartile recently.
