Summary

Newby Elementary School is a K–5 school of 443 students in McMinnville, Oregon, part of McMinnville School District 40, a district that ranks 31st of 141 statewide. The school itself sits well below that: 407th of 709 Oregon elementaries, the 43rd percentile with 2 stars — roughly 35 percentile points under its own district. About 82% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-25, in line with neighboring McMinnville schools, and per-student spending is $18,805, with 16.0 students per teacher.

Newby trails its district in every tested subject: 42.1% in English language arts (district 48.4%), 32.5% in math (district 39.8%), and 22.2% in science (district 35.5%). Science is the standout weakness — 13.3 points behind the district, 8.4 behind the state, and the lowest figure among nearby schools with reported data. Within the district, Newby is 5th of 6 elementaries, ahead of only Sue Buel Elementary. The comparison to Memorial Elementary School, less than a mile away with nearly identical spending and larger classes, is striking: about 20 points higher in ELA and 27 in math. Math also fades in the upper grades — 3rd grade math (41.2%) is essentially at the state average, but 5th grade drops to 23.2% against a district figure of 38.4%.

The clearest bright spot is attendance. Chronic absenteeism ran 41.3% in 2022-23 — worse than both district and state — but has since fallen to 29.2%, now below both benchmarks, though still the highest among the six McMinnville elementaries. Longer term, Newby ranked in the 57th–63rd percentile every year from 2014-15 through 2018-19 and has stayed in the 36th–52nd range since. The bottom line for families: the gap to the district is not explained by money or class size, and it is concentrated in upper-grade math and science rather than spread evenly across the school.
