Summary

Silverton Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6–8 with 425 students in Silverton, Oregon, a small Willamette Valley town in the Silver Falls School District 4J. The district ranks in the 80th percentile statewide, but the school sits in the 40th percentile — 222nd of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–2026 with 2 stars, down from 170th of 368 (54th percentile, 3 stars) the year before; over the past decade it has generally ranged between the 35th and 60th percentile.

Academically, the school trails both its district and the state in all three tested subjects: 38.2% in English language arts (district 51.3%, state 43.8%), 26.6% in math (district 37.0%, state 32.9%), and 23.5% in science (district 40.5%, state 30.6%). Grade-level results show a notable slide: 6th-grade ELA is above the state at 47.3%, but 8th-grade ELA falls to 25.2%, about 16 points below the state. Compared with nearby schools, Silverton Middle outperforms Waldo Middle School, Houck Middle School, Claggett Creek Middle School, Stephens Middle School, French Prairie Middle School, and Valor Middle School, but trails Mt Angel Middle School, Jane Goodall Environmental Middle Charter School, Whiteaker Middle School, and Gervais Middle School in ELA and math.

Chronic absenteeism (29.7%) is better than Oregon's 33.5% and better than most nearby schools, though Mt Angel Middle (18.5%) and Jane Goodall (17.2%) do better. About 50.82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch — up from 31.08% two years earlier, but still lower than nearly every nearby school. Per-student spending ($16,229) is the lowest among nearby schools, and the student-teacher ratio rose from 17.7 to 21.2. Effectiveness rankings for student groups are a concern: Hispanic students rank in the 10th percentile statewide, special education students in the 35th percentile, and low-income students in the 41st percentile, with most groups declining from the prior year.

Communication (school announcements) could be better, but overall, I am happy with our time at Silverton Middle School. The principal, office staff and most teachers have been amazing to work with! Close Quote

The school staff focuses too much favoritism among student and coworkers. Examples of such are firing employees on empty rumors but keep staff that have clearly broken federal laws. This also school worries too much about their appearance in the face of public, this goes so far as to threaten students who have left bad reviews on site as such as this. I'm really disgust ed by this school behavior and think this is absolutely unacceptable. Close Quote
