Summary

Edwards Elementary School in Newberg, Oregon, is a K–5 campus with 426 students — the largest enrollment and the highest free/reduced-lunch rate (75.1%) among its six Newberg-area elementary peers. It is part of Newberg School District 29J, a district that ranks 20th of 141 in Oregon (86th percentile, 4 stars). Edwards itself ranks 298th of 709 Oregon elementaries (58th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025-2026 — the lowest of the Newberg elementaries in this comparison. The school has held between the 53rd and 64th percentiles for ten straight reported years: reliably solid, but below the 4-star band most of its Newberg neighbors occupy.

Achievement is above state level overall: 45.7% in English language arts, 41.3% in math (about 8 points above the state), and 31.1% in science. But Edwards trails district averages in all three, and the other five Newberg elementaries average roughly 57% ELA, 53% math, and 41% science. Third-grade math is the clearest weak spot at 34.6%, compared with 48.9% district and 41.3% state, while fifth grade is the strength: math at 49.2% essentially matches the district (49.5%) and beats the state (32.4%) by roughly 17 points. Chronic absenteeism of 24.0% is well below the district's 29.4% and the state's 33.5%, a genuine bright spot given the school's poverty level. Edwards spends $19,336 per student, and its student-teacher ratio jumped from 12.8 to 17.4 in a single year — the largest such swing among comparable schools.

Looking at student groups, students with disabilities (31st to 50th percentile) and English learners (33rd to 48th) have improved steadily over three years. Results for low-income students moved the other way, from the 80th percentile in 2023-24 to 44th in 2025-26 even as the school's overall profile held steady — the widest and fastest-widening internal gap in the school's data. Compared with lower-poverty neighbors such as Ewing Young Elementary School (74.6% ELA, 11.4% absenteeism), closing that internal gap — rather than lifting the overall average — is the decisive lever for Edwards.
