Despite the high per-student spending of $30,852 in 2023-2024 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.2, Newark Middle School appears to be a struggling school with significant room for improvement in academic performance and student outcomes. The school's declining statewide ranking and below-average test scores suggest that targeted interventions and support may be needed to help the school and its students succeed.
