Summary:
North Marion Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the North Marion School District in Aurora, Oregon, with 360 students. However, the school has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Oregon elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.
North Marion Intermediate School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests, is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 15.6% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39%. Similarly, in mathematics, only 16.7% of 3rd graders, 29.7% of 4th graders, and 24.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better, compared to state averages of 39.9%, 37.7%, and 31.4%, respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively better than their peers, but other subgroups, such as male students, English Language Learners, and students with special needs, performing significantly worse.
When compared to nearby schools, such as Woodburn Arthur Academy, a public charter school located about 5.5 miles away, North Marion Intermediate School's performance is consistently lower. Additionally, the school's ranking among Oregon elementary schools has steadily declined over the past several years, from 519th out of 709 schools in 2017-2018 to 512th out of 710 schools in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is struggling to improve its academic outcomes despite having a relatively high student-to-teacher ratio and per-student spending that is higher than the state average.
