Summary

Oakridge Junior High School is a small public middle school in Oakridge, Oregon, serving 80 students in grades 7–8 as part of Oakridge School District 76, with no other schools within 20 miles for direct comparison.

The biggest story is improvement. In 2021-22, the school ranked 367th of 367 Oregon schools (0th percentile, 0 stars). By 2025-26, it ranked 207th of 371 (44th percentile, 2 stars). The district itself ranks 57th of 141 Oregon districts (60th percentile, 3 stars), so the school is still below its own district's standing. Chronic absenteeism is still high—41.9% in 2024-25, versus 33.5% statewide—but it has fallen from 55.4% in 2022-23. Per-student spending rose to $27,164 in 2024-25, up 22.1% in one year, while the student–teacher ratio increased from 12.7 to 17.9, meaning classes became larger even as funding rose.

Academically, results are mixed. Math is the clearest weakness: 25.4% proficient schoolwide versus 32.9% in Oregon, with both 7th and 8th grades below state. English language arts is split: 8th grade is above state (45.2% vs. 41.5%), but 7th grade is well below (33.3% vs. 45.3%). Science is a bright spot, with 8th grade at 31.3% versus 27.7% statewide. Low-income students have ranked around the 55th percentile with 3 stars, above the school's overall standing. Bottom line: a small rural school on a positive trajectory, with math and remaining absenteeism as the key areas to watch.

Open Quote Excellent and caring staff. My child has excelled under their loving direction and instruction. In particular, the math and music programs are outstanding. The Science program is very good, incorporating a lot of technology into the instruction. The language arts and social studies programs use discussion and projects to engage student interest.
