Summary

Sutherlin Middle School is a grades 6–8 school serving 297 students in Sutherlin, Oregon, a Douglas County community in the Umpqua Valley about 20 miles south of Roseburg, and it belongs to Sutherlin School District 130. In 2025–2026 the school ranks 302nd of 371 Oregon middle schools (19th percentile, 1 star), while the district ranks 127th of 141 (10th percentile, 1 star) — both in the bottom tenth of the state. The long-term trend is the bigger story: the school was in the 78th percentile in 2015–2016 and 66th in 2018–2019, but has slid steadily to 19th today.

Academically, 2025–2026 OSAS proficiency is 28.5% in English language arts, 17.4% in math, and 18.5% in science, all well below the state's 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. Seventh-grade ELA (23.2%) and eighth-grade math (15.9%) are especially weak, and the school's scores closely mirror its district's, suggesting a systemic challenge. Chronic absenteeism of 30.7% is better than the state and district, a relative bright spot. Per-student spending is $18,767 with a student-teacher ratio of 15.6, and 64.65% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Notably, Oakland Middle School, only 2.45 miles away, serves more low-income students yet posts far higher proficiency (55.2% ELA, 22.9% math, 34.0% science). Glide Middle School is the one nearby school performing at a similar level.

Results also vary sharply within the school. Special education students rank at the 4th percentile (0 stars) and have remained in the bottom 2nd–4th percentile for three straight years, while low-SES students rank at the 25th percentile. Better attendance alone is unlikely to close these gaps. The bottom line: Sutherlin is a low-performing school in a low-performing district, with attendance as a genuine strength, and math, seventh-grade reading, and special education effectiveness as its most urgent priorities.
