Newark Valley Middle School

Summary:

Newark Valley Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 4-7 in the Newark Valley Central School District in New York. The school has 290 students and is located in Newark Valley, NY. Unfortunately, Newark Valley Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 13.56% to 36.21% in ELA and 29.31% to 44.29% in Math, while the state averages were 43.64% to 49.56% in ELA and 48.93% to 58.03% in Math.

The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 15% of New York middle schools for female students and special education students in ELA proficiency. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.48% to 58.62% over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Despite spending more per student ($15,574 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Tioga Middle School, Newark Valley Middle School consistently underperforms, with Tioga Middle School outperforming Newark Valley Middle School across multiple academic metrics, including ELA and Math proficiency rates that are 10-30 percentage points higher. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 707 out of 1,407 New York middle schools in 2014-2015 to 1,213 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024, suggests a concerning trend of underperformance that the school will need to address to better support its students.

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.
