Summary

Newport High School is a public school serving grades 9–12 in Newport, a small northeastern Washington community, with 281 students in the Newport School District. Its small-school setting includes a 14.0-to-1 student-teacher ratio and a 55.52% free- or reduced-price lunch rate. The school’s 93.0% graduation rate in 2024–2025 was higher than both the district’s 87.0% and Washington’s 82.6%, making graduation one of its clearest strengths. However, its current statewide ranking is at the 37th percentile, down from the 70th percentile in 2023–2024.

Academic results are uneven. English Language Arts is the strongest tested subject: 55.0% of students were proficient in 2025–2026, above both the district’s 43.37% and the state’s 52.81%. Mathematics is the biggest concern, with only 22.03% proficient—below the district’s 33.45% and Washington’s 43.11%—following several years of low or declining results. Science was historically a strength, reaching 62.07% proficiency in 2024–2025, but fell to 41.67% in 2025–2026, below district and state levels. For families, this suggests a school that supports students in staying on track to graduate but needs focused improvement in math and renewed attention to science.

Compared with nearby schools, Riverside High School is the stronger overall academic performer, with higher ELA, math, and science results, a 95.1% graduation rate, and a 69th-percentile ranking, although Newport has a smaller student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending. Cusick Junior Senior High School has better math and science results and a smaller ratio, but its graduation rate and ELA performance are considerably lower. Pend Oreille River School serves a much smaller, different student population, so it is not a direct comparison. Overall, Newport stands out for graduation and ELA while needing sustained academic attention in math.
