High Schools in Newport

The Newport area has just one high school, Rogers High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has maintained a consistent middle-of-the-pack ranking among Rhode Island high schools, it faces some challenges, including lagging test scores, particularly in Mathematics, and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Rogers High School has consistently ranked in the middle of Rhode Island high schools, ranking 36th out of 60 in the 2022-2023 school year and 34th out of 61 in 2023-2024. The school is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. Its four-year graduation rate was 84.0% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is slightly below the state average. However, the school's test scores lag behind the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 45% of 11th graders proficient or better in ELA and just 10.4% proficient or better in Math in the 2024-2025 school year.

Despite these challenges, Rogers High School has some strengths, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 and higher-than-average spending per student at $24,632 in the 2022-2023 school year. These factors may contribute to the school's ability to provide more individualized attention and support for its students, who come from a predominantly economically disadvantaged background, with 62.48% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.
