Summary

Joseph Lane Middle School is a public middle school in Roseburg, Oregon, serving about 581 students in grades 6–8 as part of Douglas County School District 4. In 2025–2026, it ranked 150th of 371 Oregon middle schools—60th percentile, 3 stars—while the district ranks 49th of 141 in Oregon (65th percentile, 3 stars). It has been above median for years, rising from 43rd percentile/2 stars in 2016–2017 to 59th–64th percentile/3 stars from 2021–2022 through 2024–2025, with a slight dip in 2025–2026.

Compared with nearby schools, Joseph Lane Middle School is near the top locally. Its all-grade math proficiency is 30.7%, the highest among the nearby middle schools, just above John C Fremont Middle School at 30.3%. Science is its clearest standout: 42.5% all-grade and 42.5% in 8th grade, far above John C Fremont Middle School (33.0%), Oakland Middle School (34.0%), and district/state averages. ELA is 40.7%, below John C Fremont Middle School (42.1%), the district (44.6%), and the state (43.8%), but above Coffenberry Middle School (21.0%), Glide Middle School (35.2%), Sutherlin Middle School (28.5%), and Winston Middle School (25.9%); Oakland Middle School leads locally at 55.2%. Grade-level results are mixed: 6th grade is weakest, while 7th grade math (35.1%) and 8th grade math (32.8%) exceed district and state averages.

Important context includes a very high poverty rate: 83.48% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism rose from 29.9% to 37.5%, above district (35.8%) and state (33.5%); Oakland Middle School’s lower 21.4% absenteeism alongside stronger ELA suggests attendance may be a key leverage point. Per-student spending is $18,044, and the student-teacher ratio is 16:1, more favorable than most nearby schools. Subgroup results are uneven but have strengths: low-income students performed at the 68th percentile (3 stars), down from 77th–82nd percentile in prior years, and special education students improved from 22nd percentile/1 star in 2023–2024 to 81st percentile/4 stars in 2024–2025 and 61st percentile/3 stars in 2025–2026. Overall, Joseph Lane Middle School is a stable, above-median local school with science and 7th–8th grade math strengths, alongside concerns about absenteeism, ELA, and 6th grade.
