Summary:
ZIP code 97365 covers two high schools in Newport, Oregon — Newport High School (669 students, grades 9–12) and Compass School (19 students, grades 6–12) — and both belong to Lincoln County School District, which is ranked 113 out of 141 Oregon districts (about the 20th percentile, 1 star). The two schools share a campus address, but they are very different in size, grade range, and results.
Newport High School is the larger, more traditional high school and posts the stronger overall outcomes. Its graduation rate is 92.4%, above the district's 88.1% and the state's 83.0%. ELA proficiency is 50.7% and science proficiency is 43.4%, both above district and state. Chronic absenteeism is 33.3%, better than the district's 39.1% and essentially at the state's 33.5%. Its clear weak spot is math: 20.4%, essentially tied with the district's 20.2% and well below the state's 32.9%. Newport High has also ranked far above its own district — 79th percentile with 4 stars in 2023–2024 and 2024–2025 — before slipping to 65th percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026.
Compass School is tiny and non-traditional, and its data should be read with real caution. Its math proficiency of 58.8% is the highest in this data set and far above district and state, and its student-teacher ratio of 9.5 is much lower than Newport High's 21.5. But its graduation rate is 5.6% and chronic absenteeism is 43.8%, both worse than Newport High, and many grade-level scores — including science — are suppressed by the state, so those figures are unknown rather than low. With only 19 students across grades 6–12, a few students can shift every percentage dramatically, so direct comparisons between these two schools should be made carefully.
