Summary

Newfield Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Newfield Central School District in Newfield, NY. With a relatively small student population of 157, the school faces significant challenges in academic performance, ranking, and supporting certain student subgroups.

Newfield Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of 8th grade students proficient or better in ELA was 39.53% at Newfield Middle School, compared to the state average of 52.38%.

Newfield Middle School also struggles to support certain student subgroups, ranking in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools for both female and male students, as well as for white students and students with special education needs. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.96% in 2023-2024 to 80.25% in 2022-2023, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While the school district has increased spending per student, from $8,261 in 2021-2022 to $32,295 in 2023-2024, these efforts have not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for Newfield Middle School.
