Summary:
In the 96145 zip code area of Tahoe City, California, there is one middle school, North Tahoe Middle, serving grades 6 through 8 within the Tahoe-Truckee Unified School District.
North Tahoe Middle School is a solidly performing school that consistently earns a 4-star rating and scores above California state averages in English, Math, and Science. However, its academic results are consistently a bit lower than the high averages for the Tahoe-Truckee Unified district overall, which is one of the stronger districts in the state. The school's statewide ranking has dipped slightly in the most recent year, and a notable area for attention is chronic absenteeism, where the rate is higher than the district average, meaning more students are missing significant school time.
Looking at performance by grade, 7th graders at the school excel in English, while 8th graders show a dip in that subject. The school invests significantly in its students, with per-student spending well above the national average. For parents, this school provides a good education that beats state benchmarks but operates in a district where academic expectations are very high, making the performance gap with the district a point of focus alongside efforts to improve student attendance.
