Summary

Newport Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving 361 students in grades 3-6 in Newport, Kentucky, which is part of the Newport Independent School District. Unfortunately, the school consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of Kentucky elementary schools based on academic performance, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 29% of 3rd graders were proficient in math compared to the state average of 43%, and only 34% were proficient in reading compared to 47% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.6% to 28% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.63% to 92.29%, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

When compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Johnson Elementary School and Moyer Elementary School in the Fort Thomas Independent District, Newport Intermediate School significantly underperforms, with those schools ranking in the top 5% and top 10% of Kentucky elementary schools, respectively. Addressing the underlying challenges facing Newport Intermediate School and its students will be crucial for improving educational outcomes.
