Frequently asked questions
What is the best elementary school in Newport News?
Hilton Elementary in Newport News, Virginia ranks first among elementary schools in Newport News with a Success Index (US) of 63.6 out of 100 (Enrollment: 368).
How are elementary schools in Newport News ranked?

Each factor is a percentile against schools of the same type across United States. Schools with fewer than 60 students are excluded from rankings.
Are these 2025 rankings official?
No. They are computed by Success Tutoring from official American data (Urban Institute Education Data Portal (NCES CCD, EDFacts); NCES Common Core of Data).
