Newport School of Innovation

Summary:

The Newport School of Innovation is an alternative public virtual school located in Newport, Kentucky, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 46 students. The school is part of the Newport Independent School District, which is ranked 157 out of 159 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school stands out in several ways. It has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 77.3%, which is significantly higher than the nearby Transformational Learning Center, which has a 0% four-year graduation rate. However, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 11% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ACT/English, compared to 25% in the Newport Independent district and 44% statewide. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.23% in 2020-2021 to 93.48% in 2022-2023, and a very high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 38:1 in 2021-2022 to 46:1 in 2022-2023.

While the Guardian Angel school in the nearby Beechwood Independent district has higher test scores and a much lower student-teacher ratio, the Transformational Learning Center in the Covington Independent district has a 0% four-year graduation rate, suggesting significant challenges in supporting student success. The Newport School of Innovation's low test scores, high free and reduced lunch rates, and high student-teacher ratio indicate that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, but its relatively high graduation rate suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and support.

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.
