Summary:
The 02840 zip code in Newport, Rhode Island is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Newport school district. While the schools share a zip code, their performance varies significantly, with Rogers High School standing out as the strongest performer.
Claiborne Pell Elementary outperforms the Newport district average on RICAS English Language Arts and Mathematics tests for grades 3 and 4, despite being ranked lower overall (132nd out of 166 Rhode Island elementary schools). In contrast, Frank E. Thompson Middle School lags behind the district and state averages on standardized tests. Rogers High School, ranked 36th out of 60 Rhode Island high schools, has a higher four-year graduation rate (84.0%) than the district and state averages.
All three schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.48% at Rogers High School to 71.37% at Claiborne Pell Elementary. Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $23,133 at Frank E. Thompson Middle School to $25,508 at Claiborne Pell Elementary, the overall performance of the elementary and middle schools suggests that targeted interventions and support could be beneficial to improve student outcomes in the 02840 zip code.
