Summary:
Newton Falls Exempted Village educates about 805 students across four schools — two elementaries serving K–3 and 4–5, one junior high for grades 6–8, and one high school for grades 9–12 — and the district ranks 591 of 773 schools statewide, in the 24th percentile with 1 star.
Performance differs sharply from school to school. Newton Falls Elementary School (K–3) is the clearest bright spot: in 2025–2026, 3rd-grade math proficiency was 75.5% and ELA 72.2%, both above the state's 62.1% and 63.4%, with large gains over the prior year. Newton Falls High School is the biggest concern — all six 2025–2026 End-of-Course tests are below state, including Geometry at 23.8% vs. 43.3%, English II at 51.4% vs. 62.7%, and Biology at 56.1% vs. 67.0% — and its rank fell from 397 of 855 (54th percentile, 3 stars) to 609 of 795 (23rd percentile, 1 star). Newton Falls Junior High School is mixed: Algebra I proficiency was 100% in 2025–2026 and 6th-grade math 67.5%, but 8th-grade Science dropped from 70.8% to 37.5% and Math 8 was 27.1% vs. the state's 52.0%. Newton Falls Middle School (grades 4–5) is below state in every tested area, weakest in 4th-grade ELA at 42.4% vs. 61.8%.
Chronic absenteeism ranges from 29.7% at Newton Falls Middle School to 48.3% at Newton Falls High School, against a district rate of 38.8%. The high school's 93.8% graduation rate looks strong on paper despite weak test scores and high absenteeism — a reminder that no single measure tells the whole story. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all four schools in 2024–2025, so economic comparisons are not possible, and spending figures date to 2018–2019. Some results may rest on small cohorts, so single-year swings are best read with caution.
