Summary

Willamina Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Willamina, Oregon, with 188 students. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Oregon middle schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 323-360 out of 367-380 schools.

Willamina Middle School significantly underperforms the state average in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 23.5% of 6th graders were proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 41.7%. In math, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 18.9% of 6th graders, 15.4% of 7th graders, and 8.3% of 8th graders meeting the standard, compared to the state averages of 29.3%, 31.5%, and 28.9%, respectively. The school also has extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.3% to 48.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby middle schools in the McMinnville School District 40 and Dallas School District 2 significantly outperform Willamina Middle School across a range of metrics, including academic proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic status. For example, Duniway Middle School in McMinnville has proficiency rates in the 40-60% range, compared to Willamina's 10-30% range. This suggests that the school and Willamina School District 30J may be struggling to address the underlying challenges facing the school.
