'''Newport Elementary School''' is located directly on the beach in [[Newport Beach]], [[California]]. The school is situated on [[Balboa Peninsula]]. The students enjoy their playtime on the sand. The playground is located directly on the beach and overlooks the [[Pacific Ocean]]. At times, students can spot dolphins playing while they are at play. [[Santa Catalina Island, California|Catalina Island]] can be seen from the playground. This is such a unique setting and only one other school in the nation shares this commonality. |

Newport Elementary was originally referred to as Newport Beach Grammar School and was founded in 1894 as the first school in the school district. The original location was near the [[Newport Pier]] but the population of the school began to grow with no room for expansion. In 1912 the location was moved to the current address, 1327 West Balboa, due to the growth. |

On [[1933 Long Beach earthquake|March 10, 1933, a strong earthquake]] damaged the building and it was soon determined that the damage was extensive enough that the entire facility had to be demolished and rebuilt. The dedication of the new building was December 17, 1935. |

The school is referred to locally as Newport El. The school is part of [[Newport-Mesa Unified School District]]. |

The Newport Elementary School Foundation and Newport Elementary Parent Teacher Association are parent volunteer groups that work with the administration and teachers to support the students of Newport El through educational or community events and through financial support of programs that would otherwise not be available to students due to State and District budget cuts. In addition, the students of Newport El may participate in after school enrichment activities, including the school play which is organized by a dedicated group of parent volunteers with the help of a professional director, and through a wide variety of classes, ranging from cheer to chess to surfing, offered through the City of Newport Beach at the Newport El campus. |
