Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I think one of the worst parts about this school is the communication between the people who work there with the parents. The teachers there are nice, but the communication sucked.

I like the teachers and administration at Newport High School. The athletic program is one of the best around in my opinion. My school is not about politics and it doesn't matter who you are, everyone gets treated equally. There is really nothing I would change about Newport High School, I like it just the way it is.

At NHS, the entire student body is a family. I am proud to say that this is my home. The CTE programs available for all students are extremely involved and career oriented.
