Summary

F A Cleveland is an elementary school located in Norwood, MA, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 317 students. The school consistently outperforms the Norwood district and the state of Massachusetts in academic assessments, with strong performance across all grades and subjects.

F A Cleveland's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with 45.88% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 50% in Mathematics, and 52.86% in Science - all significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school also performs exceptionally well for specific student groups, ranking among the top Massachusetts elementary schools for male students, Hispanic students, and students with special needs.

While F A Cleveland's performance is impressive within the Norwood district, it lags behind the top-performing schools in nearby Walpole and Westwood, such as Old Post Road and William E Sheehan. However, the school's high per-student spending, low student-teacher ratio, and consistent performance over time suggest it is a strong educational option within the Norwood community.
