Summary:
The Newport Independent school district in Kentucky is home to two high schools: Newport High School and Newport Regional School. While Newport High School has a relatively high graduation rate, its academic performance as measured by test scores is significantly below the state average across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, the smaller Newport Regional School is a public virtual school, but lacks sufficient data to fully assess its performance.
Newport High School has 579 students enrolled and a 94.2% four-year graduation rate, which is higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages, with only 14% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT Mathematics, compared to 30% statewide. The school also has a high percentage (84.46%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The data provided for Newport Regional School is limited, as it is a much smaller high school with only 8 students enrolled. As a public virtual school, it may face unique challenges and opportunities compared to traditional brick-and-mortar high schools. Without more comprehensive data, it is difficult to assess the school's performance and its role within the Newport Independent district.
