While the school has some bright spots, it faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, school ranking, and the performance of certain student subgroups.

When comparing Estacada Middle School to nearby middle schools, such as Happy Valley Middle School, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. Happy Valley Middle School, which is 13.91 miles away, consistently outperforms Estacada Middle School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, with significantly higher percentages of students meeting or exceeding the standards. However, one interesting finding is that Estacada Middle School's military-connected students have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 2 schools in Oregon for this subgroup in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting that the school may be providing effective support and resources for this specific student population.
