Oaklea Middle School

Junction City is a small agricultural town in the Willamette Valley, situated between Eugene and Corvallis, with a tight-knit community feel that carries over into its schools. Oaklea Middle School serves a predominantly rural student population, and while its academic scores sit in the middle third statewide, families who value a smaller-school environment where kids aren't lost in the crowd may find it a comfortable fit. Families rooted in the local farming community or those relocating to the area for a quieter pace of life tend to be the ones who put down roots here.
