Summary

Northport Elementary School is a small, rural K-8 public school serving 105 students in the highly-rated Northport School District.

This school stands out for its strong academic results, especially in math and science, even while serving a community with significant economic need. For example, nearly 47% of students are proficient in math, which is higher than the state average and notably better than nearby schools like Orient Elementary School (26%) and Onion Creek Elementary (27%). The school is particularly effective at supporting its economically disadvantaged students, consistently earning high marks for this group's performance. Furthermore, it achieves these outcomes very efficiently, spending significantly less per student than some neighboring schools while maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 10-to-1.

While the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, its core strengths in key subjects and with high-needs students are clear. It shows a unique pattern of maintaining strength into the middle school grades. Compared to other similar rural schools in the area, such as Selkirk Elementary School, Northport Elementary demonstrates that a high-poverty population does not predetermine outcomes, highlighting the potential impact of its specific educational approaches and resource allocation.
