Elementary Schools in Newport Town School District

The Newport Town School District in Vermont has only one elementary school, Newport Town School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Newport Town School appears to be a consistently low-performing school, ranking among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Vermont and receiving the lowest possible rating of 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science well below the state averages. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, only 7.69% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 48.91%. The school's 5th grade proficiency rates are slightly better but still well below the state averages. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly white student population, with 92.97% of students identifying as such, and a relatively high percentage (58.59%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $16,799 for the 2018-2019 school year, the data suggests a disconnect between the school's financial resources and its academic outcomes. The school's consistently low performance and poor rankings compared to other Vermont elementary schools raise concerns about the effectiveness of the school's educational practices and the availability of resources and support for its students, particularly those from low-income families.
