Summary:
Newfield Central School District in New York has only one elementary school, Newfield Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Newfield Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer compared to other elementary schools in the state.
Newfield Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is consistently below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 25.58%, compared to the state average of 42.6%. The school's 5th grade Science proficiency rate was also lower than the state average, at 32.5% compared to 35%. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 1979 out of 2439 New York elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1682 out of 2445 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 1 star out of 5 in 2022-2023 to 2 stars out of 5 in 2023-2024.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 and per-student spending of $11,801 for the 2022-2023 school year, these investments do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 56.3%. Addressing these challenges and identifying specific areas for improvement, such as curriculum, teaching practices, or targeted interventions, will likely be crucial for Newfield Central School District to improve the performance of Newfield Elementary School.
