Summary:
The Newport School District in Washington is a small, rural district of five public schools serving about 1,180 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, though it ranks in the lower third of districts statewide.
Among the schools, Newport High School stands out as the district's strongest performer, with a graduation rate and science scores above the state average. Stratton Elementary has shown impressive improvement in recent years. In contrast, Pend Oreille River School faces significant challenges, with very low test scores and a high student-to-teacher ratio, while serving a population with high economic need.
Overall, the district's test scores are below state averages, especially in math. There are wide variations in resources and results between schools, with the high school achieving strong outcomes and the elementary school improving, suggesting some positive momentum. Parents should note that performance and support can differ greatly depending on which school their child attends within the district.
