Summary:
ZIP code 97443 is home to just one middle school — Glide Middle School — serving grades 7–8 with 122 students as part of Glide School District 12, which means families here have a single local option and most comparisons come down to how the school stacks up against its district and Oregon overall.
Academically, the picture is mixed. English Language Arts proficiency is the relative bright spot: 35.2% at the school versus 32.4% for the district across all grades, though still below the state's 43.8%. Seventh-grade ELA is 34.5% and eighth-grade ELA is 36.0%. Mathematics is the weakest area by a wide margin — 14.7% proficiency at the school compared with 19.4% in the district and 32.9% statewide, with 7th grade at 15.3% and 8th grade at 14.0%. Science is also below both benchmarks: 18.0% at the school, 24.0% in the district, and 30.6% statewide, with 8th-grade science at 18.0% against 27.7% for Oregon. Note that grade-level district figures match the school exactly, since it is the only school serving those tested grades in the district.
Beyond test scores, chronic absenteeism is 36.0%, above both the district (33.6%) and state (33.5%) — more than one in three students were chronically absent. The school holds a 1-star rating, ranking 291 of 371 Oregon middle schools in 2025–2026, or the 22nd percentile, down from the 29th percentile in 2023–2024. The district ranks 117th of 141 in Oregon. Per-student spending is $16,510 with a student-teacher ratio of 16.2. Free/reduced lunch data is blank and should be treated as unknown. With only 122 students, percentages can shift noticeably from year to year.
