Summary

Newport Intermediate School serves 374 students in grades 3–6 in Newport, Kentucky, within the Newport Independent district. Its 2025–2026 results show a substantial academic challenge: Newport trails the state in every subject with a reported result, including by 17–33 percentage points in math and 11–36 points in reading across grades 3–6. The most important finding is that low proficiency is broad, not limited to one subject or grade.

Math is Newport’s strongest subject relative to the state and nearby schools, but results remain well below state levels. Grade 6 is the school’s relative bright spot: 29% were proficient in math and 43% in reading, although those results were still 13 and 11 points below the state. By contrast, grade 5 math and reading proficiency were just 10% and 15%—the lowest among nearby schools with reported results for those grades. Grade 4 science was also especially weak at 10%, 30 points below the state. Newport was at or below district results in nearly every reported grade and subject. Attendance is a more favorable comparison: chronic absenteeism was 13%, below the district’s 16% and the state’s 24%.

Results have changed unevenly: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, grade 3 math rose 12 points and grade 3 reading rose 9, while grade 5 math fell 20 points, grade 5 reading fell 31, and grade 5 writing fell 34. SchoolDigger ranked Newport 657th of 684 statewide (4th percentile, 0 stars) in 2025–2026; the district ranked 158th of 158. Context includes a 9.7 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 88% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch that year, the highest rate among nearby schools with the same measure. SchoolDigger’s subgroup standings also shifted sharply: its percentile for how well it serves African American students rose from 7 in 2023–2024 to 49 in 2024–2025, while its standing for serving Special Education students fell from 68 to 17 over those years.
