Summary:
There is one middle school in the Newton Falls Exempted Village area: Newton Falls Junior High School, serving grades 6–8 with 192 students. It is the only middle school in the district, so parents should compare it mainly with district and state averages rather than with other local middle schools. The school ranks 674 of 1,046, in the 36th percentile with 2 stars, while the district ranks 591 of 773, in the 24th percentile with 1 star. That makes the middle school a relative bright spot within the district overall, although the district rank includes other school levels.
Its strongest results are in Algebra I End of Course, where 100% were proficient in 2025–2026, compared with 65% in the district and 61.6% statewide. This is far above both benchmarks, but the data does not include the number of test-takers, so it may reflect a small, selective group. Sixth grade mathematics is also a clear bright spot: 67.5% proficient, above the state’s 56.2% and up sharply from 44.3% the prior year, a 23.2-point increase while the state rose only 4.3 points. Seventh grade English language arts is the closest core ELA result to the state, at 55.2% versus 62.7%.
Challenges are concentrated in 8th grade and attendance. Eighth grade science dropped from 70.8% to 37.5%, a 33.3-point decline, while the state fell only 1.8 points; it is now 23.7 points below the state. Eighth grade mathematics is 27.1% proficient, 24.9 points below the state, and 8th grade ELA is 40.4%, 17.9 points below. Chronic absenteeism is 42.3%, higher than the district’s 38.8%. Other available metrics show a student-teacher ratio of 13.6 in 2024–2025 and per-student spending of $7,409 in 2018–2019; free/reduced lunch is not reported. These figures are descriptive, and the data lacks enrollment trends, state absenteeism comparisons, and subgroup breakdowns, so they should not be read as causal.
