Newport Intermediate School

Summary:

Newport Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving 387 students in grades 3-6 in Newport, Kentucky, which is part of the Newport Independent School District. Despite the school's relatively small class sizes and high per-student funding, Newport Intermediate consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Kentucky elementary schools based on academic performance.

The school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, Reading, and Science that are 20-30 percentage points below state averages. This underperformance is particularly stark for African American and economically disadvantaged students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of their respective subgroups statewide. In contrast, neighboring schools in the Fort Thomas Independent and Covington Independent districts, such as Johnson Elementary and Glenn O. Swing Elementary, significantly outperform Newport Intermediate on academic measures, despite serving similar student demographics in some cases.

The persistent underperformance of Newport Intermediate School, despite its relatively high funding and small class sizes, suggests that factors such as resource allocation, teacher quality, and school leadership may be contributing to the school's challenges. Addressing these root causes will be crucial for improving academic outcomes and providing the students of Newport Intermediate with the education they deserve.

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.
