Lakeridge Middle School

Lake Oswego is one of those Portland-area communities where the schools are genuinely part of why families move there, and Lakeridge Middle School is a big reason for that reputation. Sitting near the 96th percentile statewide in both English and math, it draws families who prioritize strong academics in a well-resourced, close-knit setting. The surrounding neighborhood feels polished but approachable — tree-lined streets, easy access to the lake, and a community that tends to be deeply invested in its schools.
