Newman International Academy Mansfield East, Arlington TX

Original Research by School Decision on Newman International Academy Mansfield East

Newman International Academy Mansfield East is a charter school serving pre-K through sixth grade in Arlington. The school is very small, with a little over one hundred students spread across eight grade levels. Pre-K makes up the largest share of enrollment, followed by kindergarten; the upper grades contain only a handful of students each.

The school serves a student population that is majority Black, with a substantial share of white students and smaller numbers of Asian, Hispanic, and other students. About three-quarters of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower-income enrollment overall. Data on English learners and students with disabilities were not available.

State testing data in math and English language arts for grades three through six in the most recent year show very small tested counts, typically around three students per grade and subject. With cohorts that small, proficiency rates cannot be reliably reported and are not displayed in the state assessment results. The one tested area with a proficiency result on record is eighth-grade social studies from a prior year, where results were below the state's proficiency bar. This school may want to assess which grades and subjects are actually being tested and why the enrollment at tested grade levels is so sparse. A parent may want to look into this further with the school directly, as the testing patterns suggest either very recent expansion into upper grades or challenges with tested enrollment at those levels.

The school offers fine arts programming. Beyond that, specific information about curriculum breadth, enrichment opportunities, or specialized pathways was not available.

The school's overall proficiency index places it in the bottom quartile relative to districts across Tarrant County. Graduation rate data were not applicable, as this is an elementary and middle school.

The Arlington area where the school is located has median home values in the mid-range compared to state benchmarks, with rents slightly elevated. The local economic environment shows moderate unemployment and mortgage rates near six and one half percent.

The school is a charter operated by Newman International Academy of Arlington. No recent district policy changes were identified through available sources.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
