Summary:
The 49870 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving students from elementary through high school: Norway Elementary School, Norway High School, and Vulcan Middle School. These schools are part of the Norway-Vulcan Area Schools district.
Among the schools, Vulcan Middle School stands out with consistently high performance, ranking in the top 25% of Michigan middle schools in the last 3 years. It has particularly strong test scores, with 72.5% proficiency in 8th grade science and 68.6% proficiency in 8th grade social studies. Norway Elementary School also performs well, ranking in the top 15% of Michigan elementary schools in recent years and having above-average test scores across multiple grade levels and subjects.
However, Norway High School lags behind, ranking in the bottom third of Michigan high schools. Its test scores, 82.8% 4-year graduation rate, and 7.6% dropout rate indicate areas for potential improvement. Additionally, all 3 schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates around 29.5%, significantly above the state average. Despite the district's above-average per-student spending, these attendance and performance disparities suggest opportunities to better serve the community.
