Summary:
The 03773 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population, they exhibit a stark contrast in academic performance, with some standout schools and others struggling to meet statewide benchmarks.
The Croydon Village School, a small elementary school with just 28 students, stands out with significantly higher test scores compared to the state and district averages. In contrast, the Richards Elementary School and the schools in the Newport School District have struggled, ranking in the bottom tiers of their respective categories statewide.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors, such as the high free/reduced lunch rates at some schools, may play a significant role in academic performance. Additionally, the success of the small Croydon Village School highlights the potential benefits of smaller school environments. The challenges facing the Newport School District, which encompasses three of the schools in the data set, suggest the need for systemic improvements to support educational opportunities for all students in the region.
