Summary:
Newfield Central School District has only one middle school, Newfield Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been mixed, with some standout areas like exceptional results in Algebra I, but inconsistent academic achievement across other subjects and grade levels.
Newfield Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 887 out of 1,504 middle schools in 2023-2024 to 1,231 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023. While 8th-grade students performed well on ELA and Science assessments, 6th and 7th graders struggled in comparison. However, the school's 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I for the past two years is a significant strength, far exceeding district and state averages.
The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 80.25% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Despite this, Newfield Middle School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.8, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
