Summary:
Waldport, Oregon is a coastal city in Lincoln County served by three public schools that together enroll 553 students in the Lincoln County School District: Crestview Heights School (elementary, grades K–6, 264 students), Waldport Middle School (grades 7–8, 85 students), and Waldport High School (grades 9–12, 204 students).
Although the district ranks 113th of 141 in Oregon, at the 20th percentile with 1 star, Waldport's individual schools perform far better than that rating suggests. Waldport High School is the standout, ranking 15th of 271 Oregon high schools — the 94th percentile with 5 stars — and placing in the top 6% for a second straight year. Its English language arts proficiency is 86.0%, more than double the district's 34.4% and well above the state's 43.8%, while science is 67.4% against the state's 30.6%; its 90.2% graduation rate also beats both. Waldport Middle School is the most improved, climbing from 1 star and the 28th percentile in 2023–2024 to 4 stars and the 74th percentile in 2025–2026, with ELA at 65.2% and the group's lowest chronic absenteeism at 20.5%. Crestview Heights School sits near the middle of Oregon elementary schools at 3 stars and the 52nd percentile.
Across all three schools, ELA and science are consistent strengths, with each exceeding the state average in both subjects. Math is the weaker subject outside the high school: Waldport Middle School's 30.8% is just under the state's 32.9%, and Crestview Heights School's 25.6% trails it, with every tested grade below the state average (3rd grade 33.3% vs. 41.3%; 4th 22.6% vs. 38.9%; 5th 23.3% vs. 32.4%; 6th 24.0% vs. 29.7%). Waldport Middle's results rest on a small enrollment of 85 students, where percentages can swing widely.
