Summary

Newburg High is a public high school located in Newburg, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 189 students. The school is part of the Newburg R-II School District, which is ranked 301 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Newburg High faces significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently lower proficiency rates on MAP tests compared to the state average across various subjects and grade levels. The school's performance has been declining over the years, and it has a lower four-year graduation rate and a higher dropout rate than the state average. Additionally, Newburg High has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 60% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the school's academic challenges, as evidenced by the significant achievement gap between low-socioeconomic students at Newburg High and the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, Waynesville Senior High, Crocker High, Vienna High, St. James High, and Rolla Senior High, Newburg High consistently underperforms in academic measures such as standardized test scores and graduation rates. These nearby schools, while not all performing at the state average, still demonstrate stronger overall performance compared to Newburg High.
