Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the 97222 zip code area - Rowe Middle School. This school serves grades 6-8 and is part of the North Clackamas School District 12. Based on the available data, Rowe Middle School appears to be an underperforming school, with consistently low academic proficiency rates and a 1-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Rowe Middle School has 722 students and a student-teacher ratio of 17:1. The school's spending per student for the 2021-2022 school year was $22,436, which is higher than the state average. However, this additional funding has not translated into strong academic performance, as the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 24.5% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 32.9% for the district and 40.6% for the state.
The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (69.81%) suggests that it serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges the school is facing. Despite the school's relatively low performance, its consistent bottom-third statewide ranking and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years indicate that it has been a persistent underperformer and may require significant interventions or support to improve student outcomes.
