Summary

Newark Middle School is a public middle school serving 415 students in grades 6-8 in the Newark Central School District in Newark, NY. Unfortunately, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 1429 out of 1500 schools and a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Newark Middle School significantly underperforms the state and district averages across various standardized tests. For example, in 2024-2025, only 24.59% of 6th graders, 27.54% of 7th graders, and 26.98% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 50.86%, 50.99%, and 52.38% respectively. The math proficiency rates are even lower, with only 13.01% of 6th graders, 27.01% of 7th graders, and 15.69% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding standards, compared to the state averages of 51.2%, 56.47%, and 46.74%. Additionally, the school struggles to serve its diverse student population, ranking in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools for African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students, as well as students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to nearby middle schools, Newark Middle School consistently underperforms. For example, Canandaigua Middle School, located just 12.59 miles away, outperforms Newark Middle School across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates often double or triple that of Newark. Despite the high per-student spending of $30,852 in 2023-2024, Newark Middle School has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of its instructional practices and resource allocation.
