My son absolutely loves school! He feels loved and welcomed by not only his teacher, but all teachers in the school. Teachers are always outside greeting ALL students with a welcoming smile. After contemplating private school, I'm so glad I gave Newport elementary a chance.

Attending this school caused irreparable damage to my mental health. Thankfully I graduated last June despite failing nearly all my classes. Teachers and Staff are generally unconcerned with the mental health/wellbeing of students. I had such a hard time my senior year and tried to reach out for help but I felt like I was not taken seriously. There are a few teachers in this school that are absolutely wonderful and determined to teach students in a way they understand and enjoy, but in general the teachers really seemed to just hate their jobs and students. Bullying and harassment is largely ignored and enabled by staff. Most of the time students will get a slap on the wrist for sexual harassment, which I faced more than once at this school. I would not recommend sending your children here. The environment is disgusting, the school doesn't even have ceilings. There are roaches, black mold, and rats. Most of the school funds go towards renovating the gym rather than repairing the school. The auditorium has the same seats from when the room was built and the sound systems are broken. I am very glad to be graduated but it took everything in me to keep going. Please choose a different school.

My daughter is of mixed race. She has experienced non-stop racial discrimination via students at this school. Not once have I gotten a phone call discussing how we will further handle this situation. Unfortunately my daughter has become self-harming from the hatred and nothing has been done. Radio silence. I plan to withdrawal her and allow her to attend a separate cyber school. It is unfortunate.
