Summary

Norwood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 459 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Norwood Elementary maintains a 3-star rating, it faces some challenges compared to nearby schools and district averages. The school has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, with a 31.4% rate in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly above the district and state averages. Academically, Norwood's English Language Arts (ELA) and science proficiency rates are generally lower than the Miami-Dade and Florida averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. However, the school's math proficiency rates are more competitive, often exceeding the district and state averages, especially in 3rd grade.

Interestingly, Norwood's per-student spending is higher than nearby schools, ranging from $17,260 to $20,156 over the past few years, suggesting a focus on providing additional resources and support to its high-need student population, as indicated by the school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this investment, the academic performance metrics suggest that these resources may not be fully translating into improved student outcomes, and the school could benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices and curriculum, particularly in ELA and science, as well as strategies to address the high chronic absenteeism rates.
