Newport Middle School

Summary:

Newport Middle School is a public middle school in Newport, Oregon, serving 475 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Lincoln County School District, which is ranked 125 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, Newport Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and Multi-racial students performing relatively better, while the school struggles to support its Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students. When compared to the nearby Waldport Middle School and Toledo Junior High, Newport Middle School generally performs better academically, but still lags behind the state averages.

The school's declining performance over the past several years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 162 out of 384 Oregon middle schools in 2017-2018 to 270 out of 371 in 2023-2024, is concerning and suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support for struggling students. Collaboration with the Lincoln County School District and the state education authorities may be necessary to develop and implement a strategic plan to address the school's challenges and improve student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
