Newport Town School's student population is predominantly white (92.97%), with a high percentage (58.59%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's student-teacher ratio of 16:1 is slightly higher than the state average, but this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
