Summary:
The city of Weston, Oregon has only one public middle school, Weston Middle School, which serves grades 4-8 and is part of the Athena-Weston School District 29RJ. While Weston Middle School's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, its Science proficiency rates, particularly in 8th grade, are significantly lower than the Oregon state average.
Over the past three years, Weston Middle School has improved its state ranking, moving from 201 out of 367 Oregon middle schools in 2021-2022 to 121 out of 371 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school is making progress and performing better relative to other middle schools in the state. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 to 1 indicates that students may have more individualized attention and support, which could contribute to the school's academic performance.
However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (64.36%) at Weston Middle School indicates that the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which may present unique challenges and opportunities. Overall, Weston Middle School appears to be a solid performer, with some areas of strength and some areas for improvement, and the school's progress in its state ranking is noteworthy.
