Elementary Schools in Norwich City School District

Summary:

The Norwich City School District in New York is home to two elementary schools: Stanford J Gibson Primary School and Perry Browne Intermediate School. Both schools serve students from prekindergarten through 5th grade, but the data suggests they are facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance.

While the schools have relatively small student populations, with Stanford J Gibson Primary School enrolling 400 students and Perry Browne Intermediate School enrolling 343 students, they both have high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The spending per student at Perry Browne Intermediate School ($25,964) is higher than the spending at Stanford J Gibson Primary School ($22,460), but this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.

The academic performance of the schools is a concern, with both schools underperforming compared to state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency. The proficiency rates for Perry Browne Intermediate School have been decreasing over the past few years, and the Norwich City School District as a whole is ranked 675 out of 874 school districts in New York, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests the district is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
