Summary:
The Newport-Mesa Unified school district in California contains 22 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 430 out of 1,568 school districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
Several schools within the district stand out for their exceptional academic performance. Newport Coast Elementary and Roy O. Andersen Elementary are both ranked in the top 5% of California elementary schools and have a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. These schools consistently outperform the district and state averages, with over 80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Harbor View Elementary is another high-performing 5-star school, particularly excelling in English Language Arts.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic achievement across the district. While the top-performing schools have exceptional results, some lower-performing schools, such as Pomona Elementary and Wilson Elementary, have less than 30% of students meeting proficiency standards. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates vary widely, from as low as 10.3% to as high as 36.1%, which may be an area of concern for the district to address.
