Summary

Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School is a public middle school located in Rockaway Beach, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 161 students. The school is part of the Neah-Kah-Nie School District 56, which is ranked 31 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 65.5% compared to the state average of 41.6%, and the 8th-grade Science proficiency rate was 56.9% compared to the state average of 27.2%. The school also has a strong performance among certain student subgroups, ranking highly for male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, often placing in the top quartile of Oregon middle schools for these groups. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates are more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below.

While Neah-Kah-Nie Middle School outperforms the nearby Tillamook Junior High School in academic proficiency, particularly in ELA and Science, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 32.1% to 44.4% over the past few years. This is an area of concern that the school and district should address. The school also has a relatively high per-student spending of around $25,000, which is significantly higher than the nearby Tillamook Junior High School ($17,131 per student), and a lower student-teacher ratio ranging from 11.9 to 15.3 over the past few years, compared to 18.1 at Tillamook Junior High.
