Summary

Norwich High School is a public high school serving 516 students in grades 9-12 in the Norwich City School District located in Norwich, NY. The school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and generally performs around the middle of New York high schools.

One of Norwich High School's strengths is its performance on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Chemistry, Algebra II, and Global History. For example, in 2024-2025, 95.92% of students were proficient in Regents Chemistry compared to 64.53% statewide. However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 45.7% in recent years, which is significantly above the state average. Additionally, while the school's 4-year graduation rates have been around 80% in recent years, slightly below the state average, its dropout rates of 5-18% are higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby high schools like Greene High School and Bainbridge-Guilford High School, Norwich High School generally performs in the middle of the pack. The school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from around $9,000 in 2020-2021 to over $26,000 in 2023-2024, but its student-teacher ratio of around 11-13 is still higher than many of the nearby schools. Additionally, the Norwich City School District as a whole has seen declining enrollment over the years, which could pose challenges going forward.
