Summary:
The North Newton School Corp district in Indiana is home to a single high school, North Newton Junior-Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in state assessments and the SAT, is consistently below the state averages, with only 43.64% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 24.7% proficient in Math. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.8%, which can negatively impact student learning and outcomes.
Socioeconomic factors also play a significant role, as over half (53.36%) of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. This may contribute to the academic performance challenges and the high chronic absenteeism rate. The school's four-year graduation rate of 85.7% is slightly below the state average, further highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support.
While the school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past few years, the data suggests that the challenges faced by North Newton Junior-Senior High School are reflective of broader district-level issues. Addressing these concerns will likely require a comprehensive approach involving the school, district, and community stakeholders to improve academic outcomes, attendance, and support for economically disadvantaged students.
