Summary

Newport Town School is an elementary school located in Newport Center, Vermont, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 120 students. The school is part of the Newport Town School District, which is ranked 68 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Newport Town School consistently performs below the state average in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 31.58% of 3rd graders and 33.33% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 61% and 61%, respectively. The school's performance in Mathematics is even lower, with only 21.05% of 3rd graders and 26.67% of 4th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 34.25% and 34.25%. When compared to nearby schools, such as Orleans Elementary School, the academic gap becomes even more apparent.

Additionally, Newport Town School has consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15.3% in 2018-2019 to 42% in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.59% in 2022-2023 to 74.17% in 2024-2025, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors, combined with the school's low academic performance, indicate that Newport Town School faces significant challenges that will require a comprehensive approach to address.
