Summary

Happy Valley Middle School is a public school serving grades 6–8 in Happy Valley, Oregon, part of North Clackamas School District 12, with 1,158 students — the largest enrollment among nearby middle schools. It ranks 107th of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–26 (71st percentile, 4 stars), while its district ranks 48th of 141 districts statewide.

Achievement is a clear strength: 50.3% proficient in ELA, 37.4% in math, and 28.0% in science, which is above district and state in ELA and math. Chronic absenteeism is 21.7% — the lowest among nearby schools and well below the district (30.5%) and state (33.5%). Among nearby schools, only Harrison Park School ranks higher (88th). Harrison Park matches Happy Valley in ELA (50.2% vs 50.3%) and leads in math (43.0%) and science (37.2%), but spends $39,323 per student with a 13.4 student-teacher ratio, compared with Happy Valley's $19,597 and 19.9. Same-district Rock Creek Middle School and Alder Creek Middle School, the latter with a similar free/reduced lunch rate, post noticeably lower results and higher absenteeism.

Items worth watching: the school's rank has slipped from top-decile 5-star status (90th–91st percentile) in 2014–15 through 2018–19 to 71st percentile in 2025–26, down from 89th in 2024–25 and 81st in 2023–24. All-grade science (28.0%) is the only subject below district and state averages, and 8th-grade math (32.3%) trails the school's 6th- and 7th-grade math. Effectiveness rankings for Special Education students (75th to 31st percentile over three years), Gifted students (66th to 41st), and low-income students (86th to 58th) have declined, while English Language Learner effectiveness improved (50th to 76th).
