Summary

North Middle School is a grades 6–8 school in Grants Pass, Oregon, serving 673 students in Grants Pass School District 7 — the largest middle school among the nearby schools parents most often compare it with. The district ranks 29th of 141 in Oregon (79th percentile, 4 stars), and North is ranked 108th of 371 statewide for 2025–2026, placing it at the 71st percentile with 4 stars.

North's clearest academic strengths are English language arts and science. All-grade ELA proficiency is 52.5%, above the district (50.9%) and state (43.8%) and higher than every nearby school, including South Middle School (51.3%), Hanby Middle School (41.4%), Lincoln Savage Middle School (41.0%) and Fleming Middle School (34.0%). Eighth-grade ELA is a standout at 54.5%. Science proficiency is 37.2%, above district and state and behind only Lincoln Savage (38.7%) locally. Attendance is another relative strength: chronic absenteeism of 26.8% is the lowest among the nearby schools and below both district (31.8%) and state (33.5%).

Math is the main area to watch. All-grade math proficiency is 31.9%, below the district (36.1%) and slightly below the state (32.9%), and notably behind South Middle School's 38.9%. Eighth-grade math is a particular weak point at 25.5%, below district, state and nearby peers. North remains a solid 4-star school, though it has drifted from a peak of 82nd of 380 in 2022–2023, and chronic absenteeism has risen from 21.1% to 26.8% over two years. With $18,527 per student and a student–teacher ratio of 18.3, North has relatively favorable resources, and it performs strongly with low-income students, ranking in the 89th percentile for that group.
