The Kingman - Norwich school district in Kansas consists of 7 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district serves students in the Kingman and Norwich communities.
Within the district, Norwich Elementary School and Norwich High School stand out as the top performers.

Norwich High also ranks highly, placing 61st out of 332 Kansas high schools and earning 4 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
While the elementary schools in the district perform well, the middle and high schools struggle more, with lower test scores and rankings. This suggests a potential issue with the transition from elementary to secondary education. Additionally, the district faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which likely contributes to the academic difficulties faced by some of the schools. The data also indicates a relationship between student demographics and school performance, with the schools serving higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tending to have lower academic achievement.
