Summary

Middleton Elementary School is a PK–5 school of 395 students in Sherwood, Oregon, part of the Sherwood School District 88J, located at 23505 SW Old Hwy 99W. For parents, the big picture is a historically top-decile school: from 2014-15 through 2024-25 it never ranked below the 91st percentile of Oregon elementaries, peaking at 97th percentile (rank 20 of 705) in 2018-19. Current 2025-26 results are still strong — 4 stars, rank 73 of 709, 90th percentile — but this is the school’s lowest ranking and first four-star year in the reported decade. Proficiency is 66.8% in ELA and 61.9% in math, beating the district’s 59.7% and 52.5% and the state’s 43.8% and 32.9%.

Compared with nearby schools, Middleton Elementary School has the lowest poverty indicator in the comparison set (12.66% free/reduced lunch), the lowest chronic absenteeism in its district (13.2% vs. 22.2%), the highest per-student spending among Sherwood elementaries ($19,573), and the smallest classes (16.3 student/teacher ratio). Yet resources do not automatically translate to higher achievement here: Ridges Elementary School spends $3,314 less per student with larger classes and higher poverty, but outperforms Middleton Elementary School in ELA, math, and science. Archer Glen Elementary School also edges Middleton Elementary School in science, and Art Rutkin Elementary School, with much higher poverty, posts higher ELA and math.

The clearest academic gap is science: Middleton Elementary School’s 42.4% is the only Sherwood elementary result below the district’s 47.7%, trailing Ridges Elementary School by 19.1 points and Archer Glen Elementary School by 15.7. Fifth grade is the weakest cohort — 63.6% ELA and 54.7% math, both below district — while fourth grade is a bright spot at 74.4% ELA and 64.6% math. Male students dropped to the 86th percentile (4 stars) from 95th, while female students held at 92nd percentile (5 stars) and special-education students posted 84th percentile (4 stars). Chronic absenteeism has normalized after a post-pandemic spike and remains well below district and state rates. Middleton Elementary School remains a strong choice with a decade-long elite record, strong fourth-grade outcomes, and low absenteeism; science and fifth-grade performance are the areas to watch.
