PEND OREILLE RIVER SCHOOL

Pend Oreille River School is a Title I public school that is part of the Newport School District school district, located in Newport, WA with about 23 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 2 teachers, Pend Oreille River School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Pend Oreille River School, located in Newport, Washington, is an alternative educational institution operating under the Newport School District. The school is specifically designed to provide a flexible and supportive learning environment for students who may benefit from an academic setting that differs from the traditional comprehensive high school experience.

Beyond its focus on core academics, the school emphasizes a smaller, close-knit community atmosphere that fosters positive relationships between students and staff.

By prioritizing student engagement and holistic support, the Pend Oreille River School serves as a vital resource for learners in the Newport community who require a non-traditional environment to succeed.
