Summary

North Bend Middle School is a public middle school in North Bend, OR, serving 477 students in grades 6–8 as part of North Bend School District 13. In 2025–2026, it ranked 141st of 371 Oregon schools (62nd percentile, 3 stars), a major improvement from the 23rd percentile in 2021–2022 and 35th in 2022–2023. Its district is ranked 25th of 141 Oregon districts (82nd percentile, 4 stars), so the school is above average statewide but below its district’s overall ranking.

Academically, 46.2% of students were proficient in English language arts, above the state (43.8%) but below the district (49%). Math proficiency was 30.7%, below both the state (32.9%) and district (35.9%). Science was 30%, below the district (33.4%) and slightly below the state (30.6%). Grade-level results are uneven: 6th-grade ELA is a strength at 50%, and 8th-grade science is 30%, above district and state, while 6th-grade math is a soft spot at 24.7% and 8th-grade ELA is 40%, below district and state. Attendance is a clear strength: chronic absenteeism was 28.1% in 2024–2025, better than the district (35.7%) and state (33.5%) and down from 44.3% in 2021–2022. The school reports 81.97% free/reduced lunch, $15,844 per-student spending, and a 20-to-1 student–teacher ratio. Results vary across student groups, so families may want to ask about targeted supports for special education students and students from low-income families.

Compared with nearby Marshfield Junior High in Coos Bay School District 9, about 2.61 miles away, North Bend Middle School has higher all-grade ELA (46.2% vs. 34%) and math (30.7% vs. 21.2%), similar science (30% vs. 29.5%), and much lower chronic absenteeism (28.1% vs. 44.1%). In grade 7, North Bend’s ELA is 49.2% vs. 28.3% and math is 36.5% vs. 20.4%. North Bend also serves a much higher free/reduced lunch population (81.97% vs. 39%) and spends more than twice as much per student ($15,844 vs. $7,092). Marshfield Junior High serves grades 7–8 while North Bend serves 6–8, so all-grade comparisons are not perfectly aligned. Overall, North Bend Middle looks like an improving, above-average school with strong attendance and ELA, plus math and 8th-grade ELA areas to watch.
