Newark Middle School

Summary:

Newark Middle School is a public middle school serving 445 students in grades 6-8 in the Newark Central School District in Newark, NY. The school's student population is predominantly White (67.87%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (17.75%), African American (7.87%), and other racial groups.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($18,709 in 2022-2023) than the state average, Newark Middle School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranging from 20-40% across grade levels, compared to state averages of 45-55%. The school's performance is particularly concerning for African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of New York middle schools. Additionally, the district-level chronic absenteeism rate of 20.6% at the nearby Clyde-Savannah Junior High School suggests that attendance may be an issue at Newark Middle School as well.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Canandaigua Middle School, which is only about 12 miles away, Newark Middle School performs significantly worse on state assessments, with proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points lower. This trend of declining performance over the past decade, coupled with the disconnect between high spending and poor outcomes, suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the Newark Central School District's educational strategies and resource allocation to improve learning outcomes for all students, particularly those in vulnerable subgroups.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
