Summary

Mabel Rush Elementary School is a K–5 school in Newberg, Oregon, serving 378 students in Newberg School District 29J, a district that ranks 20th of 141 in Oregon. Statewide, the school placed 183rd of 709 Oregon schools in 2025–2026 (74th percentile, 4 stars), up from 64th percentile two years earlier.

Academically, Mabel Rush is above average in reading and math and about average in science. In 2025–2026, 54.4% of students were proficient in English language arts (versus 47.8% in the district and 43.8% statewide) and 50.0% in math (versus 42.2% district and 32.9% state). Science came in at 32.9%, below the district's 35.0% and close to the state's 30.6%. Among Newberg schools, Mabel Rush ranks second in both ELA and math, behind Ewing Young Elementary School but ahead of Dundee Elementary School, Antonia Crater Elementary School, Joan Austin Elementary School, and Edwards Elementary School. Science is a relative weak spot: fifth graders are strong in ELA (61.0) and math (51.3) but lower in science (32.9). Third and fifth grades are the strongest; fourth grade is the one dip, with ELA at 46.4 and math at 44.9, both below district averages. Schools in the nearby Sherwood School District 88J generally score higher, though they serve far fewer low-income students.

Attendance is a real strength: chronic absenteeism fell to 18.3% in 2024–2025, better than the district's 29.4% and the state's 33.5%, and better than most Newberg peers except Ewing Young (11.4%). About 67.7% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and per-student spending is $19,302 with a 16.5 student-teacher ratio—moderate for the area. The school's results are notably strong for low-income students and Hispanic students, while special education effectiveness is the main area to watch, at the 21st percentile in 2025–2026.
