Summary:

The zip code 97138 is home to a single middle school, Seaside Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Seaside School District 10. While the school has a total enrollment of 360 students, its academic performance has been consistently below the state averages on the Oregon Statewide Assessment System (OSAS) exams in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels.

Seaside Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranking 209 out of 368 Oregon middle schools in 2024-2025 (2 stars), 237 out of 371 in 2023-2024 (2 stars), and 215 out of 380 in 2022-2023 (2 stars). The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% for the 2023-2024 school year is also a concern, as it is often linked to lower academic achievement. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $14,748 for the 2022-2023 school year, these funds do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.

Overall, the data suggests that Seaside Middle School is facing challenges in academic performance, student engagement, and maintaining a competitive position among other middle schools in Oregon. Addressing these areas could be crucial for the school's improvement and better serving the educational needs of its students.
