Summary

North Junior High School is the largest middle school in this comparison group, serving 925 students in grades 7–8 in Evansville, Indiana as part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp, a district ranked 258th of 374 in Indiana—yet the school itself ranked 136th of 486 Indiana middle schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 72nd percentile. That is a striking contrast: North performs well above its district, and within EVSC only Perry Heights Middle School ranks higher among the schools compared here.

On 2025–2026 tests, North scored 48.28% in ELA and 38.09% in math, which is 13.94 points above the district in ELA and 3.62 points above it in math. North comfortably outperformed Thompkins Middle School, Helfrich Park STEM Academy, Plaza Park International Prep Academy, Washington Middle School and McGary Middle School. It trails the higher-performing neighboring districts, however—North Posey Junior High School, Tecumseh Middle School, Castle North Middle School and Castle South Middle School—with the math gap especially wide. Results are uneven by grade: 7th grade ELA (52.72%) is strong and above state average, while 8th grade ELA (44.1%) sits essentially at the state average.

Attendance stands out as the clearest area to watch. North's chronic absenteeism was 21.6% in 2024–2025, up sharply from 15.4% the year before, and above the state's 16.7%. North also spends relatively little—$10,711 per student—and has larger classes (a 17.5 student–teacher ratio) than most peers, yet still outperforms nearly all EVSC schools shown except Perry. Its per-grade cohort of roughly 462 students is about double that of Castle North. The bottom line for families: North is a strong, efficient option within its district, with attendance, 8th grade ELA and math as the areas most likely to shape its future standing.
