Summary

Rogers High School is a public high school in Newport, Rhode Island, serving grades 9–12 and 599 students. It serves a community where 69% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, an observation about the school’s context, not an explanation for its results. The main concern is consistent: Rogers’ proficiency rates are below both the state and nearby-school averages in all five reported test comparisons, and its latest graduation rate is also well below nearby schools.

Science is a relative strength within the Newport district: Rogers’ all-grades rate is 20%, compared with 14% for the district, or 6 percentage points higher. But it remains below the state’s 31% and the nearby-school average of 50%. Math is the clearest weakness: 10th-grade PSAT math proficiency is 12%, compared with 29% statewide and 45% at nearby schools. Rogers is below the nearby average in every test comparison and is the lowest scorer in four of five; its 11th-grade SAT math result is second-lowest. Graduation is another concern: Rogers’ 2024–25 rate was 76%, versus 86% statewide and a 96% average among nearby schools.

Results and standing have weakened in recent years. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, 11th-grade SAT ELA proficiency fell from 44% to 35%, and SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking dropped from 44 to 34; its latest ranking is 38th of 58 schools, with 2 stars. Graduation also fell 8 percentage points from 2023–24 to 2024–25. Rogers’ student-teacher ratio is 10.3, the third-lowest among the 10 nearby schools, but that has not coincided with stronger test results in these comparisons. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves multiracial students is especially low, at the 5th percentile versus Rogers’ overall 34th; its Hispanic-student ranking is at the 17th percentile, down 24 points from 41 in 2023–24. These subgroup percentiles describe the school’s relative ranking, not individual students’ outcomes.
