Summary:
The Newberg School District 29J in Oregon is home to 6 elementary schools, serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with some standouts that consistently outperform others in the district.
Ewing Young Elementary School is the top-performing school in the district, ranking 44th out of 710 Oregon elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. With over 50% proficiency in core subjects across grade levels and relatively low spending per student, Ewing Young appears to be effectively utilizing its resources to provide a high-quality education. In contrast, Joan Austin Elementary School struggles the most, with several grade levels performing below 20% proficiency in Mathematics and Science.
The data also reveals a correlation between a school's free/reduced lunch rate and its academic performance. Schools with lower rates, such as Antonia Crater Elementary School, tend to have higher proficiency levels, while those with higher rates, like Edwards Elementary School, generally perform worse. However, spending per student does not appear to be a strong predictor of academic success, as the school with the highest spending, Dundee Elementary School, does not outperform its peers.
