Summary

Tumwata Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 685 students in Oregon City, part of Oregon City School District 62. The district ranks 35th of 141 Oregon districts (75th percentile, 4 stars), and Tumwata is on a clear upward path: it rose from 259th of 380 Oregon middle schools in 2022–2023 (32nd percentile, 2 stars) to 148th of 371 in 2025–2026 (60th percentile, 3 stars). That is its best showing since at least 2017–2018 and puts it above the state median, though still below the district's overall profile and behind top nearby West Linn and Lake Oswego schools.

Tumwata's results are strongest in English language arts and science, where proficiency (46.8% and 34.3%) tops both district and state averages. Math is the clear weak spot at 28.3%, below the district's 33.5% and the state's 32.9%, and below district levels in every grade. By comparison, Gardiner Middle School, the same-district school 1.69 miles away, trails Tumwata in ELA (41.8% vs. 46.8%) and science (25.7% vs. 34.3%) but leads in math (31.9% vs. 28.3%). Higher-ranked neighbors such as Lake Oswego Middle School (94th percentile) and Rosemont Ridge Middle School (90th percentile) post much higher ELA and math scores, while Tumwata's science results beat several similar-poverty schools, including Happy Valley Middle School and Athey Creek Middle School.

The school also shows broad subgroup improvement: Special Education students climbed from the 25th percentile (1 star) to the 72nd (4 stars) in two years, and low-income students rose from 29th to 61st percentile. Gifted and Talented students remain the clearest gap at the 47th percentile. Chronic absenteeism has fallen from 52.4% in 2020–2021 to 32.8% in 2024–2025 — better than the state's 33.5% but above the district's 29.6% and Gardiner's 26.5%. With a 26.9 student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than most nearby comprehensive middle schools, Tumwata gets above-state ELA and science results while facing real capacity constraints, especially in math.
