Summary

North Middle School is a public grades 6–8 school in Everett, Washington, serving 719 students in the Everett School District, an area with a mix of established neighborhoods and nearby communities. The school ranks in the 62nd percentile statewide for 2025–2026, placing it in the middle-to-upper-middle range among Washington middle schools.

North Middle School has shown encouraging improvement, rising from the 33rd percentile in 2020–2021 to the 62nd percentile most recently. Mathematics has improved from 31.04% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 39.91% in 2025–2026, while science increased to 47.09%. Still, the school trails the district average in English language arts, math, and science. Seventh grade is a notable strength: 59.91% of students were proficient in ELA and 44.98% in math, both above the corresponding state results. The main academic priorities are overall math and science, along with somewhat weaker results in 6th- and 8th-grade math.

Compared with nearby schools, North Middle School outperforms Evergreen Middle School, Voyager Middle School, Explorer Middle School, and Totem Middle School in all three reported subjects. It is close to Centennial Middle School, but behind Eisenhower Middle School, Olympic View Middle School, North Lake Middle School, and Lake Stevens Middle School. Parent attention may be especially useful for special education and English language learner support, where effectiveness rankings are lower than for several other student groups.

I have one child that attended and one currently attending North Middle School. The teachers and administrators care about the students and their progression. They work diligently to set high expectations and help all students achieve their goals. The building is not the best but is being remodeled in 2018-2019. There is a diverse student body at this school. Close Quote
