North Marion Intermediate School

North Marion Intermediate sits in Aurora, a small historic town in the heart of the Willamette Valley farm country, where the pace of life is quiet and community ties run deep. The school serves a largely rural population, and families here tend to be rooted in the area — many with connections to the local agricultural industry. Academic performance sits in the lower quarter statewide, so families who prioritize strong test score outcomes may want to look closely at supplemental learning options, though the tight-knit community feel is something larger suburban schools rarely match.
