Summary

North Middle School is a public middle school located in Grants Pass, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 694 students. It is part of the Grants Pass School District 7, which is ranked 46 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. North Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 100 middle schools in Oregon, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years.

North Middle School consistently outperforms the Grants Pass School District 7 and the state of Oregon in standardized test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, North Middle School had 63.5% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 51.9% for the district and 41.6% for the state.

When compared to other middle schools in the Grants Pass area, such as South Middle School, North Middle School stands out as a higher-performing institution. However, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 38.1% in 2022-2023, which is still better than the state average. The higher spending per student at North Middle School ($18,148 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average may contribute to its academic success, but the school and district should continue to address the issue of chronic absenteeism.
