North Scott Junior High School consistently outperforms the state average in academic achievement, with 87.4% of 7th graders and 88.9% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 74.9% and 80.2%, respectively.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Pleasant Valley Junior High School, which is ranked 8th out of 344 Iowa middle schools, North Scott Junior High School still outperforms it in most subject areas. The school's relatively low chronic absenteeism rates and free and reduced lunch rates compared to nearby schools suggest a stable and effective educational environment, though the recent increase in chronic absenteeism is an area that the school and district may need to address.
