Lincoln County School District

The Lincoln County School District in Oregon consists of 18 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 5 high schools, and 3 alternative schools. The district as a whole is ranked 125 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating relatively low performance compared to other districts in the state.

However, a few schools in the district stand out, including Waldport High School, which consistently ranks among the top in the state, and Newport High School, another high-performing high school. These schools have the highest proficiency rates in the district for 11th-grade students in English Language Arts and Science. In contrast, many other schools in the district are struggling, with low proficiency rates and poor statewide rankings, suggesting significant disparities in educational outcomes within the district.

The data also reveals that many schools in the district have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from around 70% to over 100% in some cases, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may be an important factor to consider when addressing the district's performance challenges, as the wide range in spending per student does not seem to directly correlate with student outcomes.
