Summary:
The Newton Falls Junior High School is the sole middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Newton Falls Exempted Village school district in Ohio. With an enrollment of 224 students, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.8 but faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of nearly 40%.
Academically, Newton Falls Junior High School appears to be underperforming compared to state averages, with most subject area proficiency rates below the Ohio mean. However, the school does stand out in a few areas, such as its 8th-grade science proficiency rate, which is notably higher than the state average, and its exceptional performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam. Despite these bright spots, the school's overall ranking between 612-721 out of over 1,000 Ohio middle schools and its 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger reflect its struggles to meet state standards.
With a spending per student of $7,409 in the 2018-2019 school year, Newton Falls Junior High School may be facing resource challenges that impact its ability to improve student outcomes. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and improving overall academic proficiency should be key priorities for the school and district to help the school better serve its students.
