Summary

Edwards Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Newberg, Oregon, serving 457 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Newberg School District 29J, which is ranked 21 out of 140 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Edwards Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating average performance compared to other Oregon elementary schools, the school faces several challenges. Its statewide ranking typically falls in the middle-to-lower range, and its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the district and state averages, particularly in the upper elementary grades. The school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, English Language Learners, and Special Education students, tends to be below average compared to their peers statewide. However, the school's performance for its Low Socioeconomic Status student subgroup has improved in recent years.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Ewing Young Elementary and schools in the higher-performing Sherwood School District 88J, such as Ridges Elementary and Archer Glen Elementary, consistently outperform Edwards Elementary across various metrics. Additionally, Edwards Elementary has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to its academic performance challenges.
