Summary

Newport Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Newport, New Hampshire, with a total enrollment of 149 students. The school is part of the Newport School District, which is ranked 157 out of 158 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Newport Middle School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in New Hampshire, with rankings between 123rd and 132nd out of 125-134 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state averages, with only 10-27% of students proficient or better in mathematics, reading, and science. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.5 to 10.8 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby Indian River School, Vilas Elementary School, and Kearsarge Regional Middle School, which have ratios between 8.3 and 12.2 students per teacher.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Newport Middle School, with 60.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its low academic performance. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 14.36% to 44.04% free/reduced-lunch recipients. While the low student-teacher ratio could be an asset, it does not appear to be enough to overcome the school's broader academic challenges, which have persisted for several years.
