Summary

Cedar Ridge Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 471 students in Sandy, Oregon, part of Oregon Trail School District 46. In 2025–26 it ranked 115th of 371 Oregon middle schools (69th percentile, 3 stars), and it beats the state average in all three tested subjects: 44.5% in English language arts vs. 43.8% statewide, 36.8% in math vs. 32.9%, and 36.0% in science vs. 30.6%. Science is its clearest strength, also topping its own district's 29.7%. Against its district, though, Cedar Ridge trails in ELA (44.5% vs. 51.9%) and math (36.8% vs. 41.9%).

Among nearby middle schools, Cedar Ridge sits in the middle-to-upper tier. It trails Boring Middle School (81st percentile) and Happy Valley Middle School (71st), but is well ahead of Rock Creek Middle School (64th), Walt Morey Middle School (41st), West Orient Middle School (32nd), Centennial Middle School (29th), Dexter McCarty Middle School (28th), Estacada Middle School (24th), Gordon Russell Middle School (10th) and Clear Creek Middle School (5th). Science shows the widest gap, with most neighbors far behind. Results vary by grade: sixth-grade ELA is the weakest signal at 36.6%, below both district and state, while eighth-grade math is a bright spot at 37.8%, above both.

Chronic absenteeism has improved notably, from 39.8% in 2022–23 to 30.6% in 2024–25 — better than the district (32.3%) and state (33.5%), though Happy Valley is lower at 21.7%. The share of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch rose sharply, from 41.86% to 60.51% in two years, yet the school's effectiveness rankings for low-income students remain high, in the 80th–87th percentile. Cedar Ridge spends $18,777 per student, more than Boring's $15,045 despite lower ELA and math proficiency — a reminder that spending alone does not explain outcomes. Overall, this is a solidly above-state school with strong science and improving attendance, and room to grow in English language arts.
