Newfield Elementary 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, only 33.33% of 3rd graders, 31.11% of 4th graders, and 45.45% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 54.15%, 54.07%, and 56.61%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are also significantly lower than the state, ranging from 29.79% to 41.67% across grades 3-5, compared to the state averages of 59.7% to 54.16%. Additionally, the school struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% for both female and male students in ELA.

When compared to nearby elementary schools in the Ithaca City School District, Newfield Elementary School significantly underperforms. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Caroline Elementary School had proficiency rates in ELA and Math that were 40-50 percentage points higher than Newfield Elementary School across grades 3-5. The high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the school's low per-student spending may be contributing to the academic challenges faced by Newfield Elementary School.
