Elementary Schools in Newport School District

Summary:

The Newport Elementary School is the sole elementary school in the Newport School District in Pennsylvania. While the school's performance on the PSSA Science test exceeds the state average, its Math and English Language Arts scores lag behind. The school serves a relatively disadvantaged population, with over 57% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges.

Despite higher per-student spending compared to the state average, Newport Elementary School has consistently ranked around 1,050 out of 1,500+ elementary schools in Pennsylvania. The school district's overall ranking is 440 out of 606 districts in the state, and it is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. These factors suggest that the issues faced by the school are not isolated but reflect broader challenges within the district.

While Newport Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6, the school's performance in Math and English Language Arts remains an area for improvement. Addressing the socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted interventions or resources could be crucial for enhancing the educational outcomes for students in the Newport School District.
