What the reported data says about Northern Middle
Northern Middle is a public middle school serving grades 06–08 in Roxboro. It is one of 11 current school records connected to Person County Schools. NCES reports 454 students for 2024–25.
Among 476 middle schools in North Carolina with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 591 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 28th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.
The reported student–teacher ratio is 16.2:1, close to the North Carolina median of 16.1:1 for the same school level. This ratio uses total enrollment and teacher FTE; it is not an average classroom headcount and can be affected by special programs or part-time staffing.
The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are Black (37.9%) and White (37.4%). English learners represent 4.1% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 13%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
The 2021–22 civil-rights collection reports access to gifted and talented programming. Program availability changes, so families should confirm the current catalog and participation rules directly with the school.
