Summary:
The city of Newport, New Hampshire is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in the Newport School District consistently underperform compared to state averages, Unity Elementary School, which is part of the Unity School District, stands out as a relatively higher-performing school in the area.
Unity Elementary School has the highest statewide ranking among the elementary schools, ranking 219 out of 234 New Hampshire elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school also has the highest test scores across various subjects and grade levels, with 44% of students proficient or better in reading and 50% proficient or better in science, significantly higher than the district and state averages.
In contrast, the schools in the Newport School District, including Richards Elementary School, Newport Middle School, and Newport Middle High School (High), have consistently low statewide rankings, with all three schools ranking in the bottom 10-15% of their respective school types in New Hampshire. This suggests that the Newport School District as a whole may be struggling to provide quality education to its students.
