Summary

Athey Creek Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in West Linn, Oregon, serving 470 students as part of the West Linn-Wilsonville School District 3J. The district ranks 7th of 141 Oregon districts (95th percentile, 5 stars), and Athey Creek Middle School ranks 63rd of 371 middle schools statewide in 2025–2026 (83rd percentile, 4 stars). That is a step down from the mid-2010s, when the school was a 5-star, top-10% performer. A rebound to 89th percentile in 2024–2025 shows the trend is not one of steady decline, but the school is no longer consistently among Oregon's top 10%.

In core subjects, Athey Creek is solid. ELA proficiency is 61.1% and math is 49.8% — at or slightly above district averages and well above state averages. However, nearby Rosemont Ridge Middle School, Three Rivers Charter School, Lake Oswego Middle School, and Lakeridge Middle School all score higher in both subjects. Science is the clear outlier: 19.7% proficiency, below the district (35.2% at 8th grade) and state (27.7%), and far below most neighbors — barely above Walter L Kraxberger Middle School, despite outperforming it by roughly 25 points in ELA. Even Meridian Creek Middle School, which Athey Creek beats in ELA and math, has higher science proficiency.

Attendance is a genuine strength: chronic absenteeism of 19.4% beats district and state rates and has improved from 28.7% in 2022–2023. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven — very high for Hispanic students and special education students (both 94th percentile, 5 stars), but 54th percentile for gifted and talented students, well below the school's overall 83rd percentile. Resources look favorable ($19,444 per student; student-teacher ratio of 15.5), and free/reduced-price lunch eligibility has risen from 9.34% to 24.68% over two years — a shift worth watching, since recent low-income subgroup data is not available.
