Newton Elementary School

Summary:

Newton Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Newark, Ohio, serving 364 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the North Fork Local School District, which is ranked 390 out of 839 school districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Newton Elementary School generally performs better than the state average and the North Fork Local School District on Ohio State Tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 74.1% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 64% and the district average of 73.5%. The school's special education students have also performed relatively well, ranking 197 out of 856 Ohio elementary schools in 2022-2023, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 2.8% in 2019-2020 to 19.4% in 2021-2022, which is an area of concern that the school should address.

When comparing Newton Elementary School to other nearby schools, such as Utica Elementary in the same district and Ben Franklin Elementary, McGuffey Elementary, and Cherry Valley Elementary in the Newark City School District, some interesting patterns emerge. The nearby schools in the Newark City School District generally have lower test scores and higher rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges that may impact student performance. In contrast, Granville Elementary, a high-performing school in a different district, demonstrates the potential for significantly higher academic achievement.

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.
