Summary:
ZIP code 03773 has one middle school, Newport Middle School, serving grades 6–8 in Newport, New Hampshire, with 138 students and results that are broadly similar to the Newport School District but well below New Hampshire averages.
Newport Middle School’s strongest subject is reading, with 29% of students proficient in 2025–2026. Mathematics is the largest concern, with 11% proficiency, while science falls between the two at 16%. Compared with statewide results, the school trails by 26 percentage points in reading, 33 points in mathematics, and 22 points in science. School results are nearly identical to district results: the school is one point above the district in mathematics and one point below it in both reading and science. This suggests that the school’s challenges reflect broader patterns across the Newport School District, rather than being unique to the middle school.
Grade-level results show that sixth-grade reading is the school’s strongest reported area at 32%, while sixth-grade mathematics is the weakest at 10%. Reading proficiency declines from 32% in sixth grade to 26% in eighth grade, while mathematics improves modestly from 10% to 16%. All three subjects posted small gains from the previous year, but the school remains near the bottom of statewide rankings. About 56.5% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the reported student-teacher ratio is 8.1 to 1. The relatively low ratio may support individual attention, although the data does not show how staffing is distributed. Parents may want to ask about math intervention, reading support in later grades, attendance services, and how the school is using its recent modest gains to build longer-term improvement.
