Summary:
The Newark Valley Central School District in New York operates three schools: one elementary school, one middle school, and one high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage across all schools.
The standout school in the district is Newark Valley Senior High School, which boasts the highest graduation rate at 91.5% and the lowest dropout rate at 3.1%. However, the school's academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with strong results in science but lower scores in English Language Arts and math. In contrast, the Nathan T Hall School, the district's elementary school, has the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and math compared to the other schools.
Despite the strengths of the high school, the district as a whole struggles with academic performance, particularly in math, where proficiency rates range from just 6.9% at the high school to 42.03% at the elementary school. Additionally, the district's high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.86% at the high school to 58.62% at the middle school, suggest a need to address the needs of economically disadvantaged students. The district's racial homogeneity, with a predominantly white student population, may also limit the exposure of students to diverse perspectives and cultures.
