Summary

Newport High School is a public high school serving 281 students in grades 9-12 within the Newport School District, offering a smaller learning environment with a 14-to-1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending above the state average.

The school demonstrates notable strengths and areas for growth, with its science program being a standout success, significantly outperforming both the state average and nearby schools like Cusick Junior Senior High School and Pend Oreille River School. However, math proficiency is a persistent challenge, lagging behind the state average. A key accomplishment is the school's 93% graduation rate, which exceeds the state average and is competitive with higher-performing schools such as Riverside High School.

Performance has shown some year-to-year variability, but the school maintains a favorable resource position compared to some district peers, spending more per student than Pend Oreille River School. For families, Newport represents a solid local option with a particular advantage in science education and strong support for students to earn their diplomas, positioned between other area schools in overall performance.
