Summary:
The Newport School District serves approximately 1,181 students across five public schools in Newport, Washington, including elementary, middle, high, and alternative K-12 programs, ranking in the 29th percentile among Washington districts.
Among these schools, Newport High School stands out as the district's strongest performer with a 93% graduation rate and the best science scores, while Stratton Elementary has shown notable recent improvement in its state ranking. In contrast, Pend Oreille River School faces significant challenges, including a very low graduation rate and an exceptionally high student-teacher ratio. The district's two alternative programs, Newport Home Link and Pend Oreille River, serve different student needs with varying results.
Overall, the Newport School District trails state averages in core academic subjects, particularly in mathematics, though Newport High's graduation success is a positive indicator. Student economic need is high across all schools, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 55% to 80%. The data suggests the district is building positive momentum at the elementary level, but targeted support in middle school math and for its alternative high school programs could help improve outcomes.
