Summary:
The Newark Valley Central School District in New York consists of 3 schools: 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school. While the district as a whole is ranked 653 out of 865 districts in the state and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating relatively low performance, there are some standout schools within the district.
Newark Valley Senior High School is a relative standout, consistently ranking in the top 400 high schools in New York and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.9%. However, performance on state assessments is mixed, with some subject areas like Algebra II and Geometry showing strong proficiency rates, while others like 8th grade Math lag behind the state average.
In contrast, Nathan T Hall School, the district's elementary school, has a high percentage of students (50.31%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high-need student population. Performance on 3rd grade state assessments in ELA and Math is significantly below the state average, with only 13.73% and 19.61% proficiency, respectively. Addressing the equity concerns and low academic performance at the elementary and middle school levels may be crucial for improving the overall district performance.
