Ockley Green Middle School is a public middle school located in the Arbor Lodge neighborhood of North Portland, operating within the Portland Public Schools (PPS) district. Reopened in 2017 after a period of closure to address district-wide enrollment shifts, the school serves students in grades 6 through 8. It functions as a neighborhood anchor, drawing students from several surrounding elementary schools to provide a dedicated middle school experience focused on the unique academic and social-emotional needs of early adolescents.

The school emphasizes a comprehensive middle school model that integrates core academics—such as mathematics, literacy, and science—with a variety of elective offerings. As part of the Portland Public Schools system, Ockley Green is committed to the district's goals of racial equity and academic excellence, striving to foster an inclusive environment that prepares students for the transition to high school. By providing a structured yet supportive setting, the school seeks to engage students through collaborative learning and community-focused activities that reflect the diverse character of North Portland.
