Summary:
The city of Newport, New York is home to two schools: West Canada Valley Elementary School and West Canada Valley Junior-Senior High School. Both schools are part of the West Canada Valley Central School District, which is ranked 457 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The high school stands out as a strong performer, with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and impressive proficiency rates on several Regents exams, exceeding the state average in subjects like Chemistry, Common Core Algebra II, and Common Core English Language Arts. The elementary school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and has higher-than-average proficiency rates in 4th and 5th grade math. However, the elementary school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are below the state average, particularly in the upper grades.
Both schools face challenges, such as the high school's concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which is significantly above the state average. Additionally, both schools have a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the district serves a population with significant economic challenges. These equity considerations are important factors to address in order to support student success across the district.
