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.
