High Schools in Kingman - Norwich

Kingman–Norwich has three high schools: Kingman High and Norwich High, which serve grades 9–12, and Unified School District 331 Virtual School, which serves grades 6–12. The two traditional schools have reported proficiency results; the virtual school does not. Their 2025–2026 results show the area’s clearest academic concern is ELA: the two-school average was 9 points below the state, while averages in mathematics and science were 3 and 2 points above it. The most important finding is that these averages conceal a sharp divide between the traditional schools, especially in ELA and science.

Norwich High leads in ELA and science, with 45% and 52% proficient, compared with 28% and 29% at Kingman High—gaps of 17 and 23 percentage points. Kingman leads in mathematics, 46% to 43%, a 3-point difference. Norwich’s science result is 14 points above the state, while Kingman’s is 9 points below; in ELA, both schools are below the state. Norwich also reported a 100% graduation rate, compared with 95% at Kingman. The virtual school’s outcomes are mixed: graduation was 82%, dropout was 14%, and chronic absenteeism was 0%; proficiency results are not reported for it.

Recent changes reinforce the schools’ contrasting profiles. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA proficiency fell by 8 points at Kingman and 7 at Norwich, while their average moved from about level with the state to 9 points below it. Mathematics held its relative position: the schools’ average remained about 3 points above the state in both years. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 68 to 84 at Norwich over the three reported years, while Kingman’s fell from 71 to 45. Norwich is smaller, with 82 students, a 9.5 student–teacher ratio and a 38% free/reduced-lunch rate; Kingman has 198 students, a ratio of 11 and a rate of 44%. These are contextual differences, not a consistent pattern across subjects: Kingman’s mathematics result is higher despite Norwich’s stronger ELA and science results.
