Summary:
Norfolk Public Schools has one high school, Norfolk Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced some performance challenges in recent years, with a declining statewide ranking and mixed academic results.
Norfolk Senior High School's four-year graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year was 87.9%, which is a positive metric. However, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3%, which could be impacting student learning and achievement. Academically, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are higher than the state average, but its Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are lower.
With nearly half of the student population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, Norfolk Public Schools may face socioeconomic challenges that could affect student performance. Addressing attendance issues, improving Mathematics and Science scores, and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students could be important focus areas for the district and school leadership.
