Summary

Newport Middle School is a public middle school in Newport, Oregon, serving 447 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Lincoln County School District, which is ranked 119 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Newport Middle School has a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $15,745 to $18,040 over the past few years, the school's academic performance is generally lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 42.1% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.7%. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.1% to 45.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and may be contributing to the school's overall academic struggles.

Interestingly, the nearby Waldport Middle School and Toledo Junior High, which are also part of the Lincoln County School District, generally perform better than Newport Middle School on academic measures, despite serving smaller student populations. This suggests that the challenges faced by Newport Middle School may be unique to the school itself, rather than being a district-wide issue. Additionally, the school shows concerning achievement gaps for certain student subgroups, such as Multi-racial students and Special Education students, indicating a need to focus on equity and inclusion within the school community.
