Summary

North Junior High School is a public middle school located in Evansville, Indiana, serving 930 students in grades 7-8. As part of the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, North Junior High consistently outperforms the district and the state of Indiana in ILEARN test scores for both English Language Arts and Math. In the 2024-2025 school year, 43.5% of North Junior High students were proficient or better in ELA, and 36.65% were proficient in Math, compared to the district's 33.19% in ELA and 34.76% in Math.

However, North Junior High School faces some challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15.4% to 21.4% over the past few years, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 33.76% to 41.77% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Despite these challenges, North Junior High School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating over the past decade.

When compared to nearby schools, North Junior High School's academic performance is generally stronger than other schools in the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, such as Perry Heights Middle School and Washington Middle School. However, some schools outside the district, like North Posey Junior High School and the Warrick County schools (such as Tecumseh Middle School, Castle North Middle School, and Castle South Middle School), have even higher academic achievement and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
