Summary

Northeast Middle School in Midland, MI, serves 789 students in grades 6-8 within the highly rated Midland Public Schools district, and it has earned a 4-star rating for the past decade while climbing to the 89th percentile statewide in 2025-2026.

What truly sets Northeast apart is its remarkable success with students from low-income backgrounds. Over half of the student body qualifies for free or reduced lunch, yet the school ranks in the 93rd percentile statewide for this group—a 5-star achievement. This is especially impressive when compared to its in-district neighbor, Jefferson Middle School, which serves a much more affluent population (only 27.75% low-income) and ranks slightly higher overall (93rd percentile). Despite the demographic difference, Northeast's proficiency rates are only a few points behind Jefferson's—for example, 60.1% vs. 64.5% in 6th-grade ELA—meaning Northeast is achieving nearly equal results with a student body that has nearly double the economic challenges. The school also earns 5 stars for its African American students, ranking in the 92nd percentile. Across every subject and grade level, Northeast dramatically outperforms state averages, with 8th-grade PSAT Math proficiency at 58.3% versus the state's 33.2%.

However, there are areas to watch. Math proficiency lags behind ELA and behind district averages—7th-grade math is 44.4% compared to the district's 54.5%. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern at 22.7%, notably higher than Jefferson's 14.2%. Compared to schools further afield, Northeast is a clear leader: its 7th-grade math proficiency is nearly double White Pine Middle School's 23.9% and more than triple Handy Middle School's 14.9%. With per-student spending of $14,438—higher than Jefferson's $13,598—Northeast is using its resources effectively to support a diverse student body, and its rankings have steadily improved from the 81st to 89th percentile over four years.
