Summary:
The 99156 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area face some academic and socioeconomic challenges, Newport High School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 133 out of 437 Washington high schools and outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Science.
In contrast, the other schools in the area generally underperform compared to state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math. Stratton Elementary has some bright spots, with its 3rd and 4th-grade test scores exceeding district and state averages, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7. However, the area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools, ranging from 57.89% to 77.36%.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with spending per student ranging from $5,089 at Newport Home Link to $20,643 at Stratton Elementary. This raises questions about the equity and effectiveness of how the Newport School District allocates its resources. Additionally, the schools in the 99156 zip code area have a predominantly white student population, with limited racial diversity, which could impact the educational experience.
