Summary:
The 65550 zip code is home to a single public high school, Newburg High, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the Newburg R-II school district. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it appears to be underperforming compared to state averages, with consistently low scores on state assessments and a high chronic absenteeism rate.
Newburg High has a 4-year graduation rate of 89.4% and a dropout rate of 3.3%, which are both close to the state averages. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 260 out of 378 schools in 2023-2024 to 298 out of 367 schools in 2024-2025. This suggests some instability or inconsistency in the school's performance. Additionally, Newburg High has a high percentage of students (59.79%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's challenges, it spends slightly more per student ($10,711) than the state average. The data suggests that further investigation into the factors contributing to Newburg High's academic performance, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may be necessary to identify areas for improvement and help the school provide a higher-quality education for its students.
