Summary:
ZIP code 97355 in Lebanon, Oregon contains just one public middle school — Seven Oak Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 676 students as part of Lebanon Community School District 9 — so families here have a single middle-school option and no within-area comparison is possible.
That school currently ranks in the bottom fifth of Oregon middle schools (300th of 371, 19th percentile, 1 star), and it trails both its district and the state. In English language arts, 31.4% of students met standard versus 39.3% district and 43.8% state; in math, 15.2% versus 27.9% district and 32.9% state — less than half the state rate; in science, 17.6% versus 21.4% district and 30.6% state. Math is the deepest weakness, and sixth-grade math is the lowest figure at 8.3%, compared with 29.7% statewide. Seventh grade is the strongest cohort in both ELA and math, and eighth-grade science (17.6%) comes close to the district (18.6%) while eighth-grade math and ELA lag well behind. The pattern has worsened over three years: rank moved from 244 to 271 to 300, percentile from 34 to 26 to 19, and star rating from 2 to 1.
Context indicators point the same direction: 45.7% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, above the district's 41.1% and the state's 33.5%. About 88.91% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Per-student spending is $15,454 with a student–teacher ratio of 21.1, though the data set offers no benchmarks for either. Test scores are from 2025–26 while attendance and spending figures are from 2024–25, so they are parallel signals rather than one synchronized snapshot. No test score in this record was suppressed by the state.
