We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I really enjoyed my time at Newberg High School. I found that I was able to be myself and develop great friendships, while also learning and preparing myself for success. Newberg was a great place to grow up and I now feel like I am who I am because of the role that my high school played in my life.

I've lived in Newberg Oregon my entire life. Not once did anything prepare me for collage and I've had to go out of my way to get help. Im currently taking online classes through my high school because I had a displeasure. I hope collage life is different. I've had mixed emotions about cheering all four years of high school but it taught me many life lessons that I will use to better myself in the future.

Little to no access to AP classes, in recent years they've been continuing to drop said classes too. Good performing arts program, bad funding though. They've been cutting a lot of programs and teachers recently due to the school districts $16 million debt, accumulated over ~1 year.

This school is more concerned with emancipation at their rally rather than teaching the kids the basics but they need to know when I get out of school
