Summary

Northwoods Park Middle is a public middle school located in Jacksonville, North Carolina, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 643 students. It is part of the Onslow County Schools district, which is ranked 116 out of 242 school districts in North Carolina and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northwoods Park Middle has consistently underperformed compared to the Onslow County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in terms of proficiency rates on the End-of-Grade (EOG) tests for Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The school also has significant performance gaps between different student subgroups, with Hispanic and Multi-racial students performing relatively well, while African American, White, and Special Education students struggle, with proficiency rates well below the state and district averages. Northwoods Park Middle has a low statewide ranking, typically falling in the bottom half of North Carolina middle schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Northwoods Park Middle is located in close proximity to several other middle schools in the Onslow County district, such as Swansboro Middle, Dixon Middle, and New Bridge Middle, which generally outperform Northwoods Park Middle on state assessments and have higher statewide rankings. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Northwoods Park Middle may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance, and the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
