Summary:

The Norwich City School District in New York serves students from 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is ranked 675 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance overall.

Norwich High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, consistently ranking in the top 50% of New York high schools over the past 3 years with a 3-star rating. The school has strong Regents exam proficiency rates and a relatively high graduation rate, though it struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate. In contrast, Norwich Middle School is ranked in the bottom 35% of New York middle schools, with a 1- to 2-star rating, and has performed poorly on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math.

The district's schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 45.16% at Norwich High School to 59.18% at Perry Browne Intermediate School. Despite the district's relatively high spending per student, which is above the state average, the academic outcomes across the district are mixed, suggesting a need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to address the performance gaps between the high school and the middle and elementary schools.
