North Middle School is a public middle school located in Everett, Washington, serving 706 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Everett School District, which is ranked 43 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

North Middle School has a diverse student population, with 45.89% White, 26.91% Hispanic, and a mix of other races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, the percentage of students proficient in English Language Arts is 52.6% at North Middle School, compared to 66.43% for the Everett School District and 52.63% for the state. The school's rankings for specific student groups vary, with relatively strong performance for African American students but lower rankings for Hispanic and special education students.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Eisenhower Middle School and Olympic View Middle School in the Mukilteo School District, North Middle School generally underperforms academically. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.43% to 64.86% over the past three years, suggesting significant economic challenges for the student population. These factors may contribute to the school's declining statewide ranking and the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote 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

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
