High Schools in Newport

The Rogers High School is the sole high school serving the Newport area, providing education for grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 633 students. While the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with strengths in science proficiency but weaknesses in math, it serves a predominantly low-income student population, as indicated by the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's ranking of 34 out of 61 Rhode Island high schools and 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest there is room for improvement, particularly in the areas of math instruction and support. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8 is a positive indicator, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. Per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $18,389, which may be a factor in the school's performance and resource availability.

Overall, the data provides a nuanced picture of Rogers High School, highlighting both its strengths and areas for growth. As the sole high school option in the Newport area, the school plays a critical role in serving the diverse needs of the community and may face unique challenges and opportunities compared to districts with multiple high school options.
