Summary:
Middle schools in ZIP code 97230 come down to a single school: Hauton B Lee Middle School, a grades 6–8 campus in Portland, Oregon with 718 students, part of Reynolds School District 7. Because it is the only middle school in this ZIP code in the data set, families here have no other local public middle school alternative, and the useful comparisons are against the district and Oregon state averages.
The school has ranked near the bottom of Oregon middle schools for three years running: 357 of 371 (4th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–2026, 362 of 368 (2nd percentile, 0 stars) in 2024–2025, and 360 of 371 (3rd percentile, 0 stars) in 2023–2024. Reynolds School District 7 also ranks low statewide at 131 of 141 (7th percentile, 0 stars). Proficiency is far below state levels across subjects: English Language Arts 20.5% versus 23.7% district and 43.8% state; math 5.9% versus 12.8% and 32.9%; science 7.3% versus 13.7% and 30.6%. Math is the weakest area, and 8th grade math proficiency is reported as under 5%, compared with 9.2% district and 30% state.
The clearest bright spot is 8th grade English Language Arts, where the school's 24.2% proficiency edges past the district's 21.1% — the only visible metric where it outperforms the district — though it stays well below the state's 41.5%. ELA also improves by grade, from 15.4% in 6th to 21.4% in 7th and 24.2% in 8th. Chronic absenteeism is 43.4%, above the state's 33.5% but slightly below the district's 45.3%. Free/reduced-price lunch is reported at 101.25%, a figure above 100% best treated as a reporting quirk rather than a literal percentage, though it signals very high economic need. The school spends $19,799 per student with a 17:1 student-teacher ratio.
