Summary

Winston Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6–8 in Winston, Oregon, part of Winston-Dillard School District 116, with 310 students. In 2025–2026 it ranked 333 of 371 Oregon middle schools—10th percentile, 1 star—while its district ranked 129 of 141 districts, 9th percentile, 0 stars. Rank history shows a long-term decline: 31st percentile / 2 stars in 2014–2015, 6th–7th percentile in 2021–2022 and 2022–2023, 14th percentile in 2023–2024, and 10th percentile in 2025–2026. Chronic absenteeism was 39.9% in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch was 74.84%, per-student spending was $16,450, and the student-teacher ratio was 17.2.

Academically, Winston is below the state in every tested subject: ELA 25.9%, math 11.9%, science 15.4% in 2025–2026, versus state rates of 43.8%, 32.9%, and 30.6%. It also trails district averages (ELA 29.9%, math 16.6%, science 20.7%). Nearby, Winston Middle School is closest to Coffenberry Middle School, another bottom-decile school: Winston has higher ELA (25.9% vs. 21.0%), slightly lower math and science, and lower chronic absenteeism (39.9% vs. 42.9%). Both are far behind Joseph Lane Middle School and John C Fremont Middle School, which rank around the 56th–60th percentile. Math is the weakest area, with proficiency about one-third of the state rate. Grade-level ELA rises from 19.4% in 6th grade to 32.2% in 8th, while math stays low (12.9%, 11.6%, 11.2%). Chronic absenteeism worsened from 32.5% in 2023–2024 to 39.9% in 2024–2025. Winston spends $16,450 per student, lower than nearby schools ($17,669–$18,044), and has the highest student-teacher ratio at 17.2; this is context, not proof of cause.

Subgroup effectiveness rankings vary by student population. Winston’s effectiveness ranking for Hispanic students was 84th percentile, 4 stars in 2024–2025, and for special education students it improved to 54th percentile, 3 stars in 2025–2026. Meanwhile, effectiveness rankings for White students were 4th percentile, 0 stars, for low socio-economic status students 12th percentile, 1 star, and for multi-racial students 15th percentile, 1 star. Overall, Winston remains in the bottom decile, especially in math, but the Hispanic subgroup result, improving special education result, and stronger 8th-grade ELA are promising signals.
