Summary

Norman R Kelley Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Newark Central School District in Newark, New York. With 374 students, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Norman R Kelley Intermediate School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are around 28-33%, significantly lower than the state averages of 54-57% and 54-60%, respectively.

The school's struggles are not unique within the Newark Central School District, as nearby schools like Lincoln Elementary and Perkins Elementary also perform poorly. However, in contrast, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Richard Mann Elementary in the Gananda Central School District and Marion Elementary in the Marion Central School District, demonstrate significantly higher academic performance, with proficiency rates often exceeding 50% in ELA and Math.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.4 to 9.5 over the past few years, and increased spending per student, from $13,143 in 2020-2021 to $29,227 in 2023-2024, these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.79% to 61.5% over the past few years, indicates a high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the challenges faced by the school.
