Summary:

The 17074 zip code area is home to 3 schools - Newport Elementary School, Newport High School, and Newport Middle School, all part of the Newport School District. While the district as a whole struggles, with a low ranking of 440 out of 606 districts in Pennsylvania, Newport High School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 343 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools.

Newport High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 87.9% and a low dropout rate of 1.4%, and it performs well on Keystone Exams, with 65.8% proficient or better in Literature in 2024-2025. In contrast, Newport Elementary School struggles with math proficiency, scoring below the district and state averages on PSSA Math tests, while Newport Middle School also lags behind in math, with only 19% proficient or better in 2024-2025.

The high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary school level, suggest that the community served by these schools faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may impact student performance. Additionally, the relatively high spending per student at the middle school level does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, indicating that factors such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership may play a more significant role in student success.
