Elementary Schools in Newport City School District

Summary:

The Newport City School District in Vermont has only one elementary school, Newport City Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 316 students.

Newport City Elementary School has consistently struggled academically, ranking between the 86th and 125th out of 133-137 Vermont elementary schools in recent years, with a 0-2 star rating out of 5. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all well below the state averages, ranging from 20.59% to 48.72% in ELA and 10.26% to 29.27% in Math across different grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 30.8%, significantly higher than the state average.

Further, Newport City Elementary School serves a population with high economic disadvantage, with 81.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's relatively low per-student spending of $10,708 in the 2018-2019 school year, combined with its high poverty levels and low academic performance, suggests that the district may be facing challenges in allocating resources effectively to support student needs. Addressing these systemic issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement.
