Summary:
The city of Newberg, Oregon is home to 8 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by the Newberg School District 29J. The district generally outperforms the state average, with several standout schools like Ewing Young Elementary and Chehalem Valley Middle School ranking among the top in the state. However, there is a noticeable gap in performance between the highest and lowest-performing schools, suggesting a need for more targeted support and resources.
The top-performing schools, including Newberg Senior High School, consistently have higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science compared to the state and district averages. In contrast, schools like Edwards Elementary and Joan Austin Elementary have lower proficiency rates, indicating a need for additional support.
The district also shows variation in factors like free/reduced lunch rates and per-student spending, with some schools serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Understanding these disparities and their impact on student outcomes could help the district ensure all students have access to a quality education, regardless of their background or the school they attend.
