Summary:
The North Newton School Corp district in Indiana consists of 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools (Lincoln Elementary, Lake Village Elementary, and Morocco Elementary) and 1 junior-senior high school (North Newton Junior-Senior High School). The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with Lincoln Elementary and Lake Village Elementary standing out as the highest-performing schools in the district.
Lincoln Elementary is the highest-ranked school in the district, with the best proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math across all grades. Lake Village Elementary is the second-highest ranked, with the highest proficiency rates in ILEARN English Language Arts and Math for 6th grade students. Both schools also have relatively low chronic absenteeism rates compared to the other elementary schools. In contrast, North Newton Junior-Senior High School has lower proficiency rates and a high chronic absenteeism rate, which may be impacting student achievement.
The data also reveals disparities in student demographics and resource allocation across the district. The schools have a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary across the schools, suggesting potential inequities in resource distribution. The district should investigate the underlying factors contributing to these differences and implement targeted interventions to address the specific challenges faced by each school, ultimately improving overall student outcomes.
