Summary

Jane Goodall Environmental Middle Charter School is a small charter middle school in Salem, Oregon, serving grades 6–8 with 95 students in Salem-Keizer School District 24J.

In 2025–2026, it ranked 48th of 371 Oregon middle schools (87th percentile, 4 stars), even though its district ranked 105th of 141 (26th percentile, 1 star). On state tests, its proficiency was 57.7% in English language arts, 48.5% in math, and 59.4% in science—above district and state averages in all three subjects. Compared with nearby schools, Howard Street Charter is the closest peer: it had higher ELA proficiency (66.9% vs. 57.7%) and math proficiency (51.7% vs. 48.5%), while Jane Goodall was first in science by a wide margin (59.4% vs. 38.9% at Howard Street Charter, and far above nearby comprehensive middle schools).

Attendance and efficiency are also strengths. Jane Goodall’s chronic absenteeism was 17.2% in 2024–2025, far below the district’s 43.1% and the state’s 33.5%, and lower than every nearby comprehensive middle school; only Howard Street Charter was lower, at 6.2%. The school spent $18,174 per student in 2024–2025, less than the nearby same-district comprehensive middle schools ($18,672–$20,859), while producing stronger results. Historically, its low-income students ranked 2nd of 312 (99th percentile) in 2022–2023, and special education students ranked 16th of 206 in 2017–2018. More recently, female students ranked 108th of 321 (66th percentile, 3 stars), down from 21st of 313 in 2023–2024. Because the school has only 95 students, year-to-year and subgroup results can be volatile; the 2024–2025 free/reduced-lunch figure of 96.84%, up from 19.15%, likely reflects a reporting change rather than a sudden shift.
