Beyond test scores, the school benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.7 and a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 22.61%, which provides context for its above-average performance. Chronic absenteeism sits at 11.0% for the school, well below the state rate of 16.4% but higher than the district's 8.2%, suggesting attendance at the middle school level could improve. With a district rank of 39th out of 153, the North Haven School District is solidly above average, and North Haven Middle School's upward trajectory in both stars and state standing makes it an appealing option for families in this area. The main area to watch is math proficiency, though recent momentum—especially in 8th grade—points to continued improvement.
