Summary:
The Newton Public School District in New Jersey has only one high school, Newton High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts but challenges in math and science. While the school has a relatively low dropout rate, its graduation rate is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate is higher than the state's.
Academically, Newton High School outperforms the state average in English Language Arts proficiency but underperforms in Algebra I, Geometry, and Science. The school's student-teacher ratio is lower than the state average, and its per-student spending is $10,627. However, the school's 23.4% chronic absenteeism rate is a concern, as it may be impacting academic outcomes.
Overall, Newton High School has some areas of strength, such as its relatively low dropout rate, but also faces challenges in improving its math and science proficiency, increasing its graduation rate, and addressing chronic absenteeism. Addressing these issues could help the school better serve its student population, which comes from relatively higher socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the state average.
