The schools in this district display a range of performance, with Newport High School emerging as the strongest performer and Newport Home Link and Pend Oreille River School facing unique challenges.

Newport High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 133 out of 437 Washington high schools and earning 3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 85% and a relatively low dropout rate of 15%.

While Stratton Elementary has a low statewide ranking, it outperforms the district and state averages on key metrics such as 3rd and 4th grade ELA and math proficiency. However, the district as a whole faces equity concerns, with high free/reduced lunch rates and predominantly white student populations across the schools. Additionally, Sadie Halstead Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, highlighting the need for targeted support and improvement efforts across the Newport School District.
