Summary

North Albany Middle School is a 479-student school serving grades 6–8 at 1205 North Albany Rd NW in Albany, Oregon, part of Greater Albany Public School District 8J. It is a 4-star school ranked 49th of 371 Oregon middle schools (87th percentile) in 2025–2026 — well above its own district, which sits at 50th of 141 (65th percentile, 3 stars). Its ten-year history is one of recovery: after peaking at 45th in 2015–2016, it slid to 122nd of 367 by 2021–2022, then climbed every year since, landing within one rank of its decade-best.

Academically, the school posts the highest combined reading and math proficiency in its comparison set — 62.2% in English language arts and 48.1% in math, versus 43.8% and 32.9% statewide. The most telling comparison is within its own district: Calapooia Middle School and Memorial Middle School serve nearly identical low-income populations to North Albany's 75.6%, yet North Albany's ELA scores run 18.8–24.2 points higher and math 21.4–26.6 points higher. Chronic absenteeism is 24.2%, roughly 10 points below both district (34.8%) and state (33.5%).

Two things are worth watching. Science is the school's relative soft spot: at 39.0% proficient it sits mid-pack, behind Cascade Junior High School (42.3%), Philomath Middle School (42.7%), and Linus Pauling Middle School (43.1%) — and the same 8th graders who scored 54.5% in math scored 39.0% in science. Absenteeism also rose from 18.7% to 24.2%, reversing two years of decline, though it remains well below state norms. Most encouraging: previously lagging groups have surged — special education students moved from the 11th to the 90th percentile and low-income students from the 43rd to the 77th, while the school's overall rank rose only modestly, meaning the gains reached the students who needed them most.
