Newman International Academy Of Arlington

Summary:

Newman International Academy Of Arlington is a public charter elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Arlington, TX, with a diverse student population of around 643 students.

The school has had a mixed performance, ranking in the bottom half of Texas elementary schools based on its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating.

Its STAAR test scores are mixed, with 3rd-6th grade students performing around the state average in reading but lagging behind in math and science. Despite having a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school spends around $9,000 per student, which is lower than some nearby district schools.

When compared to other nearby public elementary schools in the Arlington Independent School District, Newman International Academy Of Arlington generally performs better than schools with similar demographics, such as Foster Elementary, Morton Elementary, Burgin Elementary, and South Davis Elementary.

Open Quote We absolutely love Newman. Our children have been students here for 5 years, and we have had a fantastic experience. Three of our children have graduated from Newman while our fourth is still in high school here. Our kids were fully prepared for college and had a smooth transition academically. The Newman faculty and staff truly love and care for the students. Excellence in academics and character building is their top priority! I highly recommend Newman! Close Quote

Open Quote Very disappointed and disgusted with Newman's leadership and their decision to house elementary students in an uncompleted shopping complex for 2014-2015 school year. I will be very surprised if TEA approved the shopping complex location. There was no prior communication from the school informing parents that students will have to cross major highways to attend classes in a shopping complex. No safety precausions whatsoever, and lack of communication, they left several parents hanging..... with no time to make better choice for their children. As Newman continues to increase the number of students from an average of 15 to 25 per class with no building of its own, it is apparent that the future of the students are not their priorities. High student ratio and higher funding is their top priorities. Pay close attention to their Staar text scores in the last two years with no improvements. As a parent, I am very concern about the future of students at Newman International Academy of Alington. Close Quote

Open Quote Newman is a wonderful place, my ten year old daughter goes there and the fifth grade teachers are good at communicating with the parents and they are doing so many wonderful projects that accelerate the knowledge and the friendly enviroment and community makes it even better.I think you should consider enrolling your child cause im glad i did!

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.
