It has strong proficiency rates on state assessments, outpacing the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, the other elementary schools in the district have more mixed performance, with varying proficiency levels.
Newfield High School is the lone high school in the data set and has generally strong metrics, including a 3-star rating and ranking in the top 50% of New York high schools. However, the school also faces challenges, such as a relatively low four-year graduation rate, a high dropout rate, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of over 34%. These factors may be contributing to the school's lower performance on certain Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Algebra I and Living Environment.
