Summary:
The Newport Independent school district in Kentucky is home to two high schools: Newport High School and Newport Regional School. While both schools serve students in grades 9-12, the data indicates that they are struggling to meet academic standards and provide a quality education to their students.

Newport High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kentucky high schools, with test scores significantly below state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's four-year graduation rate of 93.5% is slightly above the state average, but it also has a higher-than-average dropout rate of 1.1%.
Both Newport High School and Newport Regional School face significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism and a student population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the high per-student spending and relatively small class sizes at Newport High School, the school has not shown signs of improvement over the past few years. The Newport Independent school district as a whole is ranked 154th out of 157 districts in Kentucky, indicating that the district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
