Summary

Newport Elementary is a K–6 school in Newport Beach, serving 339 students in Newport-Mesa Unified. Its results are strong across subjects: in 2025–2026, proficiency was above both district and California rates in English language arts (ELA), math, and science. The most important finding is that Newport’s math and science results were about 19 to 32 points above state rates, while ELA was about 23 points higher.

Newport stands out most in math compared with the state and its nearby peers, but it does not lead those peers overall. Proficiency was 71% in ELA, 71% in math, and 64% in science, compared with district rates of 61%, 52%, and 43%, and state rates of 49%, 38%, and 36%, respectively. Among five nearby same-district K–6 schools with all-grades results, Newport ranked third in each subject; its scores were about 8 points above the peer average in ELA, 11 in math, and 9 in science. Harbor View and Newport Heights scored higher in all three. Within Newport, sixth-grade math was a strength at 82%, while fourth-grade math was the lowest grade-level math result at 60%.

Results have improved notably in science and attendance, though ELA has eased from its earlier high. Science rose from 51% in 2022–2023 to 64% in 2025–2026, while chronic absenteeism fell from 35% in 2021–2022 to 9% in 2025–2026—below both district and state rates in the latest year. SchoolDigger ranks Newport at the 90th statewide percentile and gives it 4 stars. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 19.4, near the district-peer middle; 20% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves White students was at the 75th percentile in 2025–2026, 15 points below its overall standing. Its measure for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 96th to the 88th percentile from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while the overall percentile rose from 88 to 90.
