Summary:
The Newport City School District consists of a single school, Newport City Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 305 students.
Newport City Elementary School has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 86th out of 133 Vermont elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 112th out of 133 in 2021-2022. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state averages, indicating a need for improvement in these core academic areas. However, the school's per-student spending is above the state average, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.4 to 1, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention for students.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 74.1% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high poverty rate may have implications for the school's resources, support systems, and educational outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that while Newport City Elementary School faces some challenges, there may be opportunities to leverage its resources and small class sizes to improve academic performance and support the needs of its student community.
