Newberg High School is the only public high school in Newberg, Oregon, United States.

History

The school was remodeled in 2006, adding a second story, with four classrooms, a larger cafeteria, and a new auditorium.

Academics

The school switched to a small school model for the 2007-2008 school year, with five small schools, named blue, yellow, silver, and green. In 2009, Red School, the fifth small school, was dropped due to budget cuts.^{[citation needed]}

In 2008, 73% of the school's seniors received their high school diplomas. Of 412 students, 302 graduated, 73 dropped out, 8 received a modified diploma, and 29 are still in high school.^[4][5]
