Summary
Newport High School is a public high school in Newport, Oregon, serving grades 9–12 in the Lincoln County School District, with 669 students — by far the largest high school in its immediate area, nearly three times the size of nearby Waldport and Toledo high schools. The district overall ranks 113th of 141 in Oregon (20th percentile, 1 star), but Newport High School has generally performed above that district average.
In 2025–26, Newport High ranked 96th of 271 Oregon high schools (65th percentile, 3 stars), a decline from a strong four-year run at 4 stars and roughly 75th–79th percentile from 2021–22 through 2024–25. Current OSAS proficiency is 50.7% in ELA, 20.4% in math, and 43.4% in science — above the 11th-grade state benchmarks in ELA (46.0%) and science (33.8%), but below the state mark in math (22.9%). The 2024–25 graduation rate of 92.4% beats both the district (88.1%) and the state (83.0%), and chronic absenteeism of 33.3% is essentially at the state average (33.5%) and better than the district's 39.1%. About 90.13% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $20,309, and the student–teacher ratio is 21.5.
Among nearby schools, Waldport High School is the clear academic standout (94th percentile, 5 stars, much higher test scores), while Toledo Senior High School ranks far lower (13th percentile, 1 star); Newport sits in between and outperforms Toledo in every subject, graduation rate, and attendance. Compass School is a very small alternative program with volatile, often suppressed data and is not a direct comparison. Math is Newport's clearest academic weakness, and subgroup effectiveness for special education and low-SES students slipped in 2025–26, though English learner and homeless student results remain strong bright spots.
