Newton Falls Middle School

Summary:

Newton Falls Middle School is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in the Newton Falls Exempted Village School District in Ohio, with a relatively small student population of 136 as of the 2022-2023 school year.

The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, reaching as high as 39.2% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Southeast Intermediate Elementary (15.4%) and Southington Elementary (11.9%). While the school performs relatively well in mathematics, with 4th-grade proficiency rates above the state average, their English Language Arts and Science scores lag behind the state and district averages.

When compared to other elementary schools in the surrounding area, Newton Falls Middle School stands out as having higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores, particularly in ELA and Science. For example, Lordstown Elementary, which is just 5 miles away, consistently outperforms Newton Falls Middle School across multiple subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that it is struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state.

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.
