School Overview

Madras is a high-desert ranching and farming community in central Oregon, and Jefferson County Middle School reflects the tight-knit, working-class character of the region it serves. Academic outcomes here sit below state averages in both English and math, so families who prioritize strong test performance may want to look into additional supports or enrichment opportunities outside of school. That said, for families rooted in the Madras community — drawn by its affordability, wide-open landscapes, and proximity to the Crooked River and Lake Billy Chinook — this school is very much the local gathering place where kids grow up together.
