Summary:
The Newton Falls Exempted Village school district in Ohio has two elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across these schools.
Newton Falls Elementary School stood out for its relatively high 3rd-grade test scores in the 2022-2023 school year, outperforming district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. However, these scores declined significantly the following year, falling behind the district and state. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.2%. In contrast, Newton Falls Middle School had strong 4th-grade test scores but lower 5th-grade scores, and its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years.
Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, particularly at Newton Falls Middle School. The spending per student and student-teacher ratios also vary between the two schools, which may be an area worth exploring further. Overall, the data highlights the need for the district to address declining test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and the statewide ranking decline at Newton Falls Middle School to ensure all students in the Newton Falls Exempted Village district receive a high-quality education.
