Summary

Newton Falls High School is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 with 245 students in Newton Falls, Ohio, part of the Newton Falls Exempted Village district.

The school’s 2025–2026 rank is 609th of 795 Ohio high schools—23rd percentile, 1 star—down sharply from 397th of 855 (54th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025. Test scores are below the state in every reported End-of-Course subject, with the biggest gaps in Geometry (23.8% vs. 43.3% state), English II (51.4% vs. 62.7%), and Biology (56.1% vs. 67.0%). Algebra I is a relative bright spot at 60.0%, just 1.6 points below the state and above several nearby schools. Locally, Newton Falls High School trails Lordstown High School, Jackson-Milton High School, James A Garfield High School, Chalker High School, Southeast High School, and LaBrae High School, but generally outperforms Warren G Harding High School, Windham High School, Summit Academy Alternative LearnersWarren Middle & Secondary, and River Gate High School.

Chronic absenteeism is a major concern: 48.3% of students are chronically absent, well above the Newton Falls Exempted Village district’s 38.8% and among the highest locally—only Warren G Harding High School (58.3%) and River Gate High School (93.9%) are worse. The graduation rate is comparatively solid at 93.8%, in line with the district’s 93.9% and mid-to-upper among nearby schools. Poverty is high—91.89% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023–2024—but Chalker High School (97.64%) and Jackson-Milton High School (98.24%) serve even more low-income students and rank higher overall, suggesting improvement is possible. Resources are moderate: $9,367 per student in 2018–2019 and a 15.9 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025. Subgroup effectiveness fell sharply in 2025–2026: special education students dropped from the 85th to the 6th percentile, and low-income students fell from the 78th to the 29th percentile. The most urgent issues to investigate are the broad one-year academic decline, high chronic absenteeism, and the steep drop in support for special education and low-income students.
