Summary

Happy Valley Middle School is a public middle school in Happy Valley, Oregon, serving 1,111 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the North Clackamas School District, which is ranked 54 out of 140 districts in the state.

Happy Valley Middle School is a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Oregon middle schools over the past decade and maintaining a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school particularly excels for African American and multi-racial students, ranking in the top 5 and top 41 out of 133 Oregon middle schools, respectively. It also performs well for English Language Learner students, placing in the top 13 out of 30 schools. However, the school's performance for Hispanic, White, and Gifted and Talented students is more average.

Compared to nearby schools, Happy Valley Middle School outperforms Alder Creek Middle School and Rock Creek Middle School in both academic rankings and test scores. The school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (35.01%) suggests that its strong performance may be partly attributable to the socioeconomic status of its student population. However, the school's concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 19.2% in 2021-2022 to 38.1% in 2022-2023, is an area that warrants further investigation and intervention.
