Summary:
ZIP code 97023 is served by a single middle school — Estacada Middle School — which enrolls 460 students in grades 6–8 and belongs to Estacada School District 108, the district covering the Estacada community. Because it is the only middle school in the area, it defines the local middle-school landscape, and families here have no other in-district middle-school option.
The most important thing for parents to know is the gap between the district and the school. Estacada School District 108 ranks 36th of 141 districts statewide (74th percentile) with 4 stars, while Estacada Middle School ranks 281st of 371 middle schools (24th percentile) with 1 star in 2025–2026. That places the school in the bottom quartile of Oregon middle schools. Rank history shows the school at the 20th percentile in 2024–2025 and the 21st in 2023–2024, so the move to 24 percent is a small improvement, but the school has been a 1-star, bottom-quartile school for three straight years. On 2025–2026 OSAS tests, proficiency was 30.0% in English language arts, 20.8% in math, and 19.7% in science — all below both the district (45.2%, 31.7%, 36.6%) and the state (43.8%, 32.9%, 30.6%). The widest gap is in science, 16.9 points below the district.
Within the school, grade results differ sharply. Eighth grade is the relative bright spot: 38.7% proficient in ELA (just 2.8 points below the state average), 26.9% in math, and 19.7% in science — the only grade where science is reported, which is why the all-grades science figure matches it. Seventh grade is the weakest, at 23.9% in ELA and 17.5% in math, both far below district and state averages; sixth grade sits in between at 28.7% ELA and 18.8% math. Chronic absenteeism is 35.1%, slightly above the district (34.9%) and state (33.5%). More than half of students (51.52%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $14,939, and the student-teacher ratio is 23.1:1.
