Summary

North Middle School has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 20% of Tennessee middle schools for several years. In the 2020-2021 school year, the school was ranked 41 out of 576 Tennessee middle schools and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has remained strong, with a 4-star rating in recent years. North Middle School consistently outperforms the Loudon County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates across all subject areas, particularly in Mathematics, where it exceeds the state average by 14.9 percentage points. The school's Hispanic and Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) students also perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 15% and top 5% of Tennessee middle schools, respectively.

While North Middle School's overall performance is strong, the school's chronic absenteeism rate, although decreasing, is still higher than the ideal and could be an area of focus for the school and district. Additionally, the school's Special Education students have a lower ranking compared to other subgroups, indicating an area for potential improvement. When compared to nearby schools, North Middle School outperforms the Ft Loudoun Middle School, which is also part of the Loudon County School District, but is on par or slightly lower than the exceptional performance of schools in the neighboring Oak Ridge and Roane County districts.

ero stars is what this school deserves. The principal and the vice principal need to be replaced with someone who does not verbally and emotionally abuse the students. How they got their positions is beyond me. These children need role models not bullies. Do better Loudon County school board. Close Quote
