Wonderful school! From the caring teachers to the awesome office secretaries, we love this school. The Language Arts teacher is great! He makes sure his students know everything about writing great essay's. The level of education is beyond core standards at this great school. I can only hope that our new middle school has such great teachers. Thank you Fleming!

The atmosphere at Fleming is one of respect for each other and pride in learning. Disciplinary issues are dealt with quickly and there are clear, appropriate consequences for inappropriate behaviors. The teachers are committed to helping each child succeed, and the 'Champion School' designation from the state of Oregon (only a few are good enough) is a reflection of this effort. I'm very pleased my daughter goes to Fleming as I know it will provide her with an excellent academic base for her high school years. In teaching her to be responsible for her work and her actions, they are also providing a life lesson in citizenship within the community.

As a student for only one year I am very very satisfied with the teachers, and working area in the class rooms. It is clam and quiet, unless you are in band class. Thank You

As a student who just graduated from Fleming Middle School, I have to say that I thought it was excellent. The staff are always helpful and really passionate about helping kids succeed. It is a safe and fun learning community, but the teachers are great and really want to help us do well all-around. The teachers were really able to get everyone fired up about test scores, and made everyone want to do their best. Overall, I am very satisfied with the time I spent at Fleming. I'm sad to see the budget cuts take place and some of my favorite teachers have to go, but I'm sure the remaining teachers will do their best to make up for it. I suppose that the school's weakest point was their principal leadership, but I can't say enough about how great the teachers were.

This school has good teachers for the most part and is safe but lacks principal leadership and fundings.

I am a Fleming alumni and am proud to have my 6th grade child attending there and actually having my 6th grade teacher! My child has some difficulties in reading but all the teachers make sure they take one on one if needed to get her through her studies.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Oregon used the Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (OAKS) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math; in grades 4, 7 and 10 in writing; and in grades 5, 8 and 10 in science. The OAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Oregon. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
