New Dawn Academy of Warren has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates above the state average in 4th-7th grade English Language Arts but below average in 3rd grade ELA and most math subjects. The school's 8th grade PSAT results were also mixed, with 68.8% proficient in ELA but only 12.5% proficient in Math.
