Newton Falls High School

Summary:

Newton Falls High School is a public high school located in Newton Falls, Ohio, serving 259 students in grades 9-12 as part of the LaBrae Local school district. While the school has seen some positive trends, such as increasing graduation rates, it also faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism and below-average performance on certain state tests.

One notable aspect of Newton Falls High School is its racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.82%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Warren G Harding High School and River Gate High School, which have more diverse student populations. The school's four-year graduation rate has improved, reaching 94.7% in 2023-2024, though still slightly below the state average. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, from 16.4% in 2019-2020 to 52.2% in 2023-2024, which is much higher than the state average and nearby schools.

In terms of academic performance, Newton Falls High School generally performs better than the state average on Ohio State Tests, particularly in American Government and American History. However, the school struggles in subjects like Algebra I, Geometry, and Biology, where proficiency rates are lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from a high of 149 out of 778 Ohio high schools in 2014-2015 to 521 out of 864 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school is facing challenges in keeping pace with other high 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.
