Hedrick Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 100 middle schools in Oregon, with a current ranking of 133 out of 371 schools. The school's performance on state assessments is generally higher than the Medford School District and the state average, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, 54.7% of 8th-grade students at Hedrick Middle School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 40.1% for the Medford School District and 40.6% for the state. The school also has strong performance among certain student subgroups, such as Asian and Hispanic students, but relatively lower performance for students with special education needs and gifted and talented students.

While Hedrick Middle School is a solid-performing middle school, it faces some challenges. The school's overall ranking and performance have declined over the past few years, with a drop from a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 3-star rating in the most recent school year. This decline is particularly evident in the performance of female and white students. Additionally, the nearby The Valley School of Southern Oregon, a public charter school, outperforms Hedrick in several academic areas, particularly in ELA and Mathematics.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
