Beaumont stands out well beyond its own neighborhood. It ranked 25th out of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 93rd percentile with a 5-star rating — a mark it has held for three straight years, improving from 30th in 2023–2024. Its district is also highly ranked, at 12th out of 141 districts. On 2025–2026 state tests, Beaumont students outperformed both district and state averages in every subject: 66.6% met standards in English Language Arts, 58.6% in math, and 53.2% in science. The math gap is the largest, at 25.7 percentage points above the state. Eighth grade is the strongest tested group, posting 70.2% in ELA, 63.7% in math, and 53.2% in science, while seventh-grade ELA — at 61.4% — matches the district and is the one result that does not exceed it.
Beyond test scores, Beaumont's chronic absenteeism rate of 22.1% is well below the district's 32.5% and the state's 33.5%, though roughly one in five students is still chronically absent. About 41.84% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, so these strong results occur in an economically diverse setting. The school spends $23,296 per student and has a student-teacher ratio of 15.5, giving parents useful context on resources and class size.
