Summary

Newark Valley Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 4-7 in the Newark Valley Central School District. With 274 students, the school is located in Newark Valley, NY, and is ranked 718 out of 874 in the state, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has relatively high spending per student, ranging from $12,574 to $27,530 over the past few years, its academic performance consistently underperforms compared to the state average and nearby schools on New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 21.05% to 45.83% in ELA and 20% to 54.55% in Math, while the state averages were 50.86% to 56.61% in ELA and 51.2% to 58.64% in Math. The school also struggles to support certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 20% of NY middle schools for male students and special education students in ELA and Math.

Nearby middle schools, such as Chenango Valley Middle School, Tioga Middle School, and Maine-Endwell Middle School, generally outperform Newark Valley Middle School on academic measures and have higher statewide rankings. Additionally, the school's high free/reduced lunch rate, ranging from 52.48% to 58.62% over the past few years, indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may require additional support and resources.
