Summary

Newport Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 212 students in grades K-6 in Newport, Ohio. It is part of the Frontier Local school district, which is ranked 494 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Newport Elementary School consistently outperforms the Frontier Local district and the state of Ohio on standardized tests across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates than the district and state in 3rd grade Math (71.9% vs. 63.3% and 64.4%), 4th grade Math (91.7% vs. 79.5% and 69.1%), and 5th grade Science (44.4% vs. 38.5% and 63.4%). The school also performs exceptionally well for its subgroups of special education students and low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top 272 and 314 Ohio elementary schools, respectively, in the 2024-2025 school year.

While Newport Elementary School maintains a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, it faces challenges with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 18.6% to 28.1% over the past few years. When compared to nearby schools, such as Matamoras Elementary and Lowell Elementary, Newport Elementary generally outperforms these schools on academic measures, especially in Math and English Language Arts. However, the nearby Fort Frye Local district schools have higher overall performance and rankings compared to Newport Elementary, which may be due in part to their higher spending per student.
