Summary

Willamina Middle School in Willamina, OR, is a small public school serving 186 students in grades 6–8, located in a small rural community and part of Willamina School District 30J. It ranks 286th of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–2026 (23rd percentile, 1 star), while its district ranks 134th of 141 districts (5th percentile, 0 stars). The school’s percentile has improved from 2 in 2021–2022 to 23 in 2025–2026, but it remains in the bottom quarter of Oregon middle schools.

Academically, English language arts is the relative bright spot: 35.3% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, above the district’s 29.8% but below the state’s 43.8%. Math is weaker at 17.6% proficient, compared with 32.9% statewide and lower than nearby LaCreole Middle School (23.4%), Amity Middle School (23.3%), Patton Middle School (29.3%), and Duniway Middle School (48.8%). Science is the most severe weakness: only 7.5% proficient, far below the state’s 30.6% and the nearby range of 21.5%–44.0%. By grade, 7th-grade ELA (41.5%) is comparatively solid, while 6th-grade math (10.9%) and 8th-grade science (7.5%) are especially low.

Chronic absenteeism is the clearest differentiator: 51.8% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, up from 19.6% in 2018–2019 and far above the state’s 33.5%. Nearby schools are much lower—Patton Middle School 24.5%, Duniway Middle School 25.2%, Amity Middle School 27.8%, and LaCreole Middle School 38.1%. Willamina Middle School also spends $24,422 per student, more than nearby middle schools ($16,513–$19,028), yet math and science proficiency remain lower. Its student-teacher ratio (16.4) is similar to Patton Middle School (16.8), lower than Duniway Middle School and LaCreole Middle School (both 18.4), and higher than Amity Middle School (13.6). Recent subgroup gains are notable for low-income and male students, though overall performance remains below state averages. The middle school also outperforms its district’s percentile, while nearby districts such as McMinnville School District 40 (78th percentile), Dallas School District 2 (57th), and Amity School District 4J (34th) generally rank higher.
