Summary:
The Norway-Vulcan Area Schools district in Michigan operates a single high school, Norway High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the district as a whole is ranked 142 out of 613 in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, Norway High School's performance metrics are somewhat mixed.
Norway High School's four-year graduation rate of 82.8% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 7.6% is higher than the state average. The school also struggles with a chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, Norway High School's test scores are generally below the state averages, with the exception of Social Studies, where they perform slightly better. Additionally, the school serves a population with socioeconomic challenges, as 34.68% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $14,402, Norway High School's performance has declined, dropping from a statewide ranking of 230 out of 743 in 2023-2024 to 514 out of 739 in 2024-2025. To improve the school's standing, the Norway-Vulcan Area Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the academic, attendance, and socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's student population.
