Summary

Obsidian Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6–8 in Redmond, Oregon, part of Redmond School District 2J, with 568 students. In 2025–2026 it ranked 192nd of 371 Oregon middle schools — the 48th percentile with 2 stars — a modest slip from the 54th percentile and 3 stars the year before. It serves a high-poverty population: 79.75% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024–2025, up from 67.87% the prior year, with a student-teacher ratio of 21.9.

Academically, the school's profile is uneven rather than uniformly weak. English language arts proficiency is 45.3%, essentially matching the district (45.4%) and slightly above the state (43.8%). Math, however, is 25.7% — below both the district (33.9%) and state (32.9%) — and science is 22.1%, below the district's 26.8% and the state's 30.6%. Compared with same-district Elton Gregory Middle School about 2.85 miles away, Obsidian posts higher ELA (45.3% vs. 40.0%) and science (22.1% vs. 16.8%) but lower math (25.7% vs. 30.0%). Nearby Pacific Crest Middle School and Cascade Middle School reach much higher proficiency across subjects, though they serve lower-poverty populations.

Attendance is a genuine bright spot: chronic absenteeism fell to 27.7% in 2024–2025, better than the district (33.1%), the state (33.5%), and Elton Gregory (30.9%). Low-income students ranked in the 61st percentile in 2025–2026, above the school's overall standing. Special education students, however, ranked in the 3rd percentile in 2024–2025 — a serious concern worth raising with the school. The practical takeaway: Obsidian likely needs targeted improvement in math and science while protecting its ELA and attendance gains, not a wholesale overhaul.
