Newport Schools Aim for University Accreditation
A state inspector visits the local schoolhouse, potentially opening a direct path for Newport graduates to enter the University of Washington without further testing.
The Newport schools were visited last week by an inspector from the State University at Seattle. The inspector paid the schools a high compliment for the thorough work that is being done, and it is likely that as a result of his inspection the school will be placed on the accredited list of the University, and graduates will be permitted to enter the University without further qualification.
