Summary

da Vinci Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in the Portland School District 1J in Portland, OR, serving 427 students. In 2025–2026 it ranks 53rd of 371 Oregon middle schools—86th percentile, 4 stars—putting it in the top 15% statewide, though it is the fifth-highest-ranked of 10 nearby same-district middle schools in the comparison set.

Its academic profile is uneven. English language arts is a clear strength: all-grade proficiency is 67.9%, above the district’s 57.8% and the state’s 43.8%, and its 7th-grade ELA score of 76.7% is the highest among nearby schools. Math is mixed at 42.9%: below the district’s 50.5% but above the state’s 32.9%, with 7th-grade math comparatively strong while 6th- and 8th-grade math lag. Science is a relative weakness at 32.8%, below the district’s 45.1% and most nearby schools. Among nearby peers, Gray Middle School (96th percentile), Beaumont Middle School (93rd), Mt Tabor Middle School (92nd), and Hosford Middle School (91st) rank higher with 5 stars; the school’s literacy is competitive, but its math and science scores trail that top cluster.

Chronic absenteeism is 33.3%, near the state average and improved from 38.7%, but higher than the top nearby cluster (22.1%–23.5%). The school has the highest student-teacher ratio among nearby schools (19.1) and spends less than the nearby median ($22,984 per student), yet still ranks in the top 15% statewide—an efficiency signal. It is especially effective for low-income students (91st percentile, 5 stars) and special education students (82nd percentile, 4 stars), while gifted/talented students rank lower (43rd percentile, 2 stars).
