Summary

Neil Armstrong Middle School is a public middle school located in Forest Grove, Oregon, serving 821 students in grades 7-8 and part of the Forest Grove School District 15.

Despite having access to resources comparable to other schools, Neil Armstrong Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Oregon middle schools over the past decade, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic achievement, particularly in Mathematics, is significantly below state and district averages, with only around 30% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and less than 20% proficient in Math. The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.8% to 41.4%, are also a concern.

In contrast, the middle schools in the neighboring Beaverton School District, such as Stoller Middle School, have significantly higher academic achievement, with proficiency rates around 70% in English Language Arts and 65-70% in Mathematics, ranking among the top schools in the state. The nearby Tom McCall Upper Elementary School, which serves grades 5-6 and is also part of the Forest Grove School District, has similar low performance to Neil Armstrong Middle School.

What people are saying

by a parent
Saturday, May 19, 2018

Principal that doesn't treat the students with dignity/respect- conferences that are dominated by "Your kid this and your kid that" without ever using the student's name. A administrative staff that is equally indifferent to the manner in which the students are treated. Close Quote
