Summary

Twality Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Tigard, Oregon, a Portland suburb, serving 1,006 students — the largest middle school in the Tigard-Tualatin School District 23J and one of the largest in this comparison group. In 2025-2026 it ranked 112th of 371 Oregon middle schools (70th percentile, 4 stars), solidly above the state average but below the top suburban schools nearby.

Within its own district, Twality is the strongest of the three middle schools on every core measure. Against Hazelbrook Middle School and Thomas R Fowler Middle School, it posts higher proficiency in English language arts (47.0%), math (37.8%), and science (29.8%), plus the lowest chronic absenteeism (27.4% in 2024-25) — while serving a nearly identical low-income profile, enrolling more students, running the highest student-teacher ratio (20.9), and spending the least per student ($16,983). Against the wider region, though, the picture is more modest: Jackson Middle School in Portland School District 1J serves a higher low-income share yet reaches about 65% ELA proficiency, and Lake Oswego Middle School, Lakeridge Middle School, and Sherwood Middle School all sit well ahead.

Three things are worth watching. Eighth-grade achievement flattens: ELA proficiency falls to 41.8%, matching district and state, after 6th and 7th grades substantially beat both. Special Education results are the weakest metric in the profile, at the 16th percentile and low across three years. And low-income students have slipped from the 72nd percentile two years ago to the 46th. Meanwhile the student-teacher ratio climbed from 18.0 to 20.9 in two years, and the school's decade-long trend has drifted from the 83rd percentile down to 70th.
