Summary:
The Newark Central School District in New York serves 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with Newark Senior High School standing out for its strong Regents exam results, while the middle and elementary schools struggle to meet state proficiency standards, particularly in math and English Language Arts.
Newark Senior High School has the highest graduation rate (84.3%) and the highest proficiency rates on several Regents exams, including U.S. History and Government (82.01%), Common Core English Language Arts (76.67%), and Global History and Geography (68.39%). However, it also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate (34.1%) and low proficiency rates on some math-related exams. In contrast, Newark Middle School stands out for its strong performance on Regents exams, with 88.46% proficiency in Living Environment and 84.21% proficiency in Algebra I, but its state assessment scores in English Language Arts and Math are significantly below the state averages.
The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the district suggest that the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, which may be a contributing factor to the overall academic challenges. The data highlights opportunities for the district to focus on improving math and English Language Arts proficiency, particularly at the middle and elementary school levels, as well as addressing chronic absenteeism and exploring ways to support the district's socioeconomically disadvantaged students.
