Summary:
The 13811 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Newark Valley Central School District, including 1 high school, 1 middle school, and 1 elementary school. While the high school, Newark Valley Senior High School, is a relatively strong performer, the elementary and middle schools in the district struggle academically.
Newark Valley Senior High School consistently ranks in the top 400 high schools in New York state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a respectable 84.3% graduation rate and strong performance on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Algebra II, Geometry, and U.S. History. In contrast, Nathan T Hall Elementary and Newark Valley Middle School rank in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state and have significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to state averages.
The data suggests that the district may need to implement targeted interventions and support, particularly at the lower grade levels, to help improve academic outcomes and better prepare students for success at the high school level. While the district appears to allocate resources equitably across the schools, the stark differences in performance between the high school and the elementary/middle schools indicate a need for the district to re-evaluate its approach to supporting student learning and achievement across all grade levels.
