Summary

North Marion Middle School is a public middle school in Aurora, Oregon, serving 402 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the North Marion School District 15, which is ranked 122 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Marion Middle School faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 34.3% to 43.0% in recent years, well above the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Molalla River Middle School (34.3%) and Meridian Creek Middle School (34.3%). Academically, the school's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSAS tests, is consistently below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

While the school's White students and Special Education students perform relatively better, with 3-star ratings in recent years, the school's Hispanic, Multi-racial, and Low Socioeconomic Status students perform significantly worse, with 1- or 2-star ratings. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $18,656 to $24,949 in recent years, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a comprehensive approach to address both academic and non-academic factors, such as attendance, student support, and resource allocation.
