28^th

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 371 Oregon Middle Schools

Better than 92% of Oregon middle schools

Summary

Mt Tabor Middle School is a grades 6–8 school with 466 students on SE Ash Street in Portland's Mt Tabor neighborhood, part of Portland School District 1J. For 2025–26 it is rated 5 stars and ranked 28th of 371 Oregon middle schools — the 92nd percentile, squarely in the state's top decile — capping a decade in which it never dropped below the 78th percentile and spent recent years in the top 5% statewide.

Math is the standout: 60% of students met the standard, the highest of any school in its comparison group and roughly 18 points above the same-district peer average, ahead of Beaumont Middle School (58.6%) and Hosford Middle School (54.8%). English language arts sits at 67%, essentially tied for the group lead, while science (45.4%) is the one subject where the school barely edges its own district. Seventh grade is exceptional (73.7% ELA, 71.4% math), while 8th grade is the weak spot at 49.3% math — about 22 points lower. Chronic absenteeism, at 23.5%, runs roughly 10 points below both the district and the state and is among the lowest in the group.

All of this happens on a lean budget: $22,306 per student, second-lowest of the eleven comparison schools, with one of the larger class sizes at 18.3 students per teacher. Low-income students rank at the 98th percentile statewide and special-education students at the 94th, indicating results are not coming from a single advantaged group; gifted-and-talented students are the relative outlier at the 82nd percentile. The clearest next steps are internal — 8th-grade math and science — rather than comparative.
