Summary:
The 23601 zip code area of Newport News, Virginia is home to 5 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Newport News City Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 110 out of 130 in Virginia and has a 1-star rating, two of the standout schools in this area are the public magnet elementary schools, Deer Park Elementary and Hilton Elementary, which rank 162 and 393 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools respectively and have 4-star and 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
The data reveals that Deer Park and Hilton Elementary schools significantly outperform the district and state averages on standardized test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels. In contrast, the other schools in the 23601 area, including Warwick High, Homer L. Hines Middle, and Joseph H. Saunders Elementary, tend to lag behind the district and state averages on test scores. This disparity suggests that the two magnet elementary schools may be providing a higher-quality education compared to the other schools in the area.
The high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.95% to 91.49%, indicate that the 23601 zip code area has a relatively low-income population, which could be a contributing factor to the overall lower performance of the schools compared to state averages. Additionally, the varying student-teacher ratios, from 13.7 to 17.9, suggest that the schools may have differing levels of resources and staffing, which could impact their ability to provide individualized attention and support to students.
