Newport Elementary School

Summary:

Newport Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Wadsworth, Illinois, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 251 students. The school is part of the Beach Park CCSD 3 district, which is ranked 774 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Newport Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a ranking between 1300-1700 out of over 2,000 schools in recent years. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. This is largely due to the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, which have risen from 4.2% in 2019-2020 to 30.4% in 2021-2022, as well as its low academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts (15.9%), Mathematics (15.7%), and Science (24.5%), all of which are significantly below the state and district averages.

While the nearby schools in the Beach Park CCSD 3 district, such as Kenneth Murphy School and Oak Crest School, have similar performance levels to Newport Elementary, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Millburn Elementary School and Westfield School, perform significantly better academically. This suggests that the challenges faced by Newport Elementary may be systemic within the Beach Park CCSD 3 district, and that the school's high poverty rate, with 60.16% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its struggles.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
