Summary
Oregon Middle is a 613-student, grades 7–8 school in Oregon, WI, part of the Oregon School District, in the Madison area. It ranked 204th of 643 statewide in 2025–2026 (68th percentile, 3 stars), down from 4-star, 76th-percentile results the prior year. The district itself is strong, ranking 50th of 432 districts statewide. Among nearby schools, Belleville Middle (93rd percentile, 5 stars), Savanna Oaks Middle (86th, 4 stars), and Indian Mound Middle (79th, 4 stars) rank higher, while Oregon Middle sits above River Bluff Middle, Toki Middle, Cherokee Heights Middle, Badger Rock Middle, James Wright Middle, and One City Preparatory Academy. The same-district feeder Rome Corners Intermediate posts strong 5–6 grade results.
Test results are uneven by grade. Oregon Middle’s 2025–2026 7th-grade ELA and math scores were well above state average (69.57% vs. 55.33% in ELA and 71.01% vs. 55.67% in math). Its 8th-grade ELA, math, social studies, and science scores were only modestly above state average, with science slipping from a double-digit advantage in recent years to just +0.7 points. Chronic absenteeism is 9.1%, much lower than the state’s 17.3% and far below nearby Madison schools such as Cherokee Heights Middle (23.0%), Toki Middle (26.7%), and Badger Rock Middle (32.6%). Dropout is 0.0%. The school spends $15,861 per student with a 12.5 student-teacher ratio, producing stronger outcomes than many nearby schools that spend more.
The main equity concern is the low-socioeconomic-status achievement gap: this subgroup ranked in the 27th percentile in 2025–2026, 43rd in 2024–2025, and 24th in 2023–2024, far below the school’s overall 68th-percentile rank. Special education students ranked 80th percentile in 2025–2026, a relative strength. The 2025–2026 decline was driven mainly by the current 8th-grade cohort, which dropped from its own 7th-grade year, while the current 7th grade is strong. If that younger group maintains its performance, 8th-grade results could rebound, but the 8th-grade and low-SES gaps warrant focused attention. Compared with top nearby schools like Belleville Middle, Savanna Oaks Middle, and Indian Mound Middle, Oregon Middle has room to strengthen 8th-grade math, science, and social studies.
