Best Public Schools in Norwood, NY

Summary:

The city of Norwood, New York is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Norwood-Norfolk Elementary School, Norwood-Norfolk School (high school), and Norwood-Norfolk Middle School. These schools are part of the Norwood-Norfolk Central School District, which faces some challenges as indicated by its low statewide ranking and rating.

Among the three schools, the high school stands out with its consistent top 50% ranking in New York and strong performance on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Algebra II, Chemistry, and Geometry. The school also has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.5%. In contrast, the elementary and middle schools have room for improvement, with lower proficiency rates on state assessments in English Language Arts and math compared to state averages.

Across all three schools, there are some common trends, such as high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.13% to 60.07%. Additionally, the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, between 9.6 and 11.3 students per teacher. While these factors may contribute to the district's challenges, the data suggests that targeted interventions and support could help improve student performance, particularly in the elementary and middle schools.
