Summary

Newby Elementary School is a public elementary school located in McMinnville, Oregon, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 436 students. The school is part of the McMinnville School District 40, which is ranked 33 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Newby Elementary School's performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSAS (Oregon Statewide Assessment System) tests, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Newby's 3rd-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was 37.7%, compared to the district's 41.7% and the state's 40.3%. Similarly, in 5th-grade Math, Newby's proficiency rate was 23.2%, while the district and state were 31.6% and 31.3%, respectively. Compared to the nearby Grandhaven Elementary and Memorial Elementary, Newby's academic performance is generally lower.

Newby Elementary has also experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.6% to 38.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. This trend is consistent across the nearby schools within the McMinnville School District 40, with Wascher Elementary and Grandhaven Elementary also reporting high chronic absenteeism rates of around 34.3%. While Newby's per-student spending has increased and its student-teacher ratio has decreased, the school's inconsistent performance and high chronic absenteeism rates suggest that addressing these challenges could be crucial for improving student outcomes.
