Elementary Schools in Newport Independent


Summary:

The Newport Independent school district in Kentucky has two elementary schools: Newport Primary School and Newport Intermediate School. Both schools have consistently low rankings within the state, indicating they are among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Kentucky.

The data shows that both schools face significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.0% and very high free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 90%. Despite relatively high spending per student, the schools are underperforming on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly lower than state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. This suggests that the district may need to implement comprehensive strategies to address the root causes of these issues and improve educational outcomes for its students.

While the data does not provide a clear standout school in the district, it highlights the need for the Newport Independent school district to focus on improving the quality of education and supporting the academic success of its elementary school students. Addressing the challenges of high poverty levels, chronic absenteeism, and low academic performance will be crucial for the district to provide a better educational experience for its community.
