SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 5,817 California Elementary Schools

Better than 95% of California elementary schools

Summary

Newport Coast Elementary serves 429 students in grades K–6 in Newport Beach, in an area with several nearby elementary schools posting strong academic results. In 2025–26, 80% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), 76% in math and 69% in science. The most important finding is that the school was well above state and district proficiency levels in all three subjects.

The school’s nearby standing varies by subject: it ranks 3rd of 11 schools in science, 5th in ELA and 7th in math. Its science proficiency of 69% was above the nearby-school average of 65%; ELA was 80%, compared with a 75% average; math was 76%, close to the 74% average. Compared with California and Newport-Mesa Unified, the school was ahead by 33 and 26 percentage points in science, 30 and 19 points in ELA, and 37 and 24 points in math. So science is its strongest subject among nearby schools, while math is its weakest by local placement—even though math has the biggest lead over the state.

Results have not moved in the same direction each year. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, science rose 9 points, while ELA was essentially unchanged and math rose 2 points; the latest ELA and math results were each 3 points below the prior year. Over that period, the school’s lead over the state widened by 3 points in science but narrowed by 3 points in ELA and 2 in math. SchoolDigger gives the school 5 stars and ranks it at the 95th statewide percentile; that percentile eased from 97 in 2023–24 to 95 in 2025–26. Its student-teacher ratio was 19.4 in 2024–25, the second-lowest among nearby schools, and 19% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable subgroup finding is that SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves Asian students was at the 67th percentile in 2025–26, compared with the school’s overall 95th percentile; the group ranking fell from 79 the year before. This is a group-specific SchoolDigger measure, not a comparison between students.
