Summary

Isaac Newton Middle School For Math And Science is a public middle school in New York City, serving 292 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #4, which is ranked 669 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has shown inconsistent academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 495 to 1248 out of around 1,500 New York middle schools in recent years. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math generally range from 35-60%, which is below the district and state averages. However, the school has performed relatively better in certain subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, and special education students. The school serves a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Junior High School 54 Booker T Washington and East Side Middle School have significantly outperformed Isaac Newton Middle School and the district/state averages, suggesting that high-performing schools can exist within the same geographic area. The school has seen a significant increase in per-student spending and improvement in student-teacher ratio, but it is unclear if these investments have directly translated into improved academic performance.
