Summary

Newport Middle School is a public middle school in Newport, Oregon, serving 426 students in grades 6–8 as part of the Lincoln County School District. For 2025–2026, the school ranks 283rd of 371 Oregon middle schools, placing it at the 24th percentile with 1 star — the bottom quartile statewide. The longer trend is a decline: Newport was at the 54th–60th percentile with 3 stars in 2015–2018, slipped to the 47th–48th percentile in 2018–2022, and has since settled at the 24th–32nd percentile with mostly 1-star ratings.

Comparisons within the same district are striking. Waldport Middle School is at the 74th percentile with 4 stars, while Toledo Junior High is at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars. Newport sits in between. Because Waldport and Toledo serve only grades 7–8, the fairest comparisons are those grades. In 7th-grade ELA, Newport is at 26% versus Waldport’s 66.7% and the state’s 45.3%; in 8th-grade ELA, 29.2% versus 63.4% and 41.5%. Math and science show the widest gaps against Oregon overall: all-grade math is 20.1% versus 32.9%, and science is 16.1% versus 30.6%. One bright spot is 6th grade, where ELA (41.3%) is above the district and nearly matches the state.

Chronic absenteeism at Newport was 32.3% in 2024–2025 — better than the district’s 39.1% and the state’s 33.5%, but still about one in three students, and higher than Waldport’s 20.5%. Economic need is very high: free/reduced lunch rose to 91.55% in 2024–2025 from 67.79% the year before. Newport reports $19,467 per student, more than double the $9,100 reported for Waldport and Toledo, alongside a higher student–teacher ratio (19.8 versus 15.8 and 13.5); these figures reflect different school structures and reporting rules, so they are not a simple cause-and-effect story. Subgroup effectiveness raises concerns, especially for low-income students (4th percentile, 0 stars) and gifted and talented students (2nd percentile, 0 stars), though special education students improved from the 1st percentile in 2022–2023 to the 30th percentile.
