Best Public Schools in Newport, PA

Summary:

The city of Newport, Pennsylvania is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school. While the schools in this area have some notable strengths, the overall academic performance is mixed, with significant room for improvement.

Newport Elementary School and Newport High School both struggle to meet state averages on standardized tests, while Newport Middle School stands out as the strongest performer, ranking 429 out of 893 Pennsylvania middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The middle school also outperforms the district and state in PSSA Math and English Language Arts proficiency.

Across the Newport School District, student demographics are relatively homogeneous, with a predominantly white population and low racial diversity. Socioeconomic challenges are also prevalent, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the schools have access to adequate resources, as evidenced by high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the academic outcomes suggest a need to examine how these resources are being utilized to better support student learning and address the unique needs of the Newport community.
