Summary

Perry Browne Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Norwich City School District in Norwich, New York. With 343 students, the school has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on New York State Assessments, ranking in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools over the past 10 years.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 37.25% of 3rd graders, 35.11% of 4th graders, and 53.47% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 54.15%, 54.07%, and 56.61%, respectively. The math proficiency rates were even lower, with only 30.1% of 3rd graders, 34.04% of 4th graders, and 42.16% of 5th graders meeting or exceeding proficiency standards, compared to the state averages of 59.7%, 58.64%, and 54.16%. The school's performance is particularly concerning when compared to nearby schools, such as Unadilla Elementary School, which outperformed Perry Browne Intermediate School in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates across all grade levels.

Despite the school's high percentage of students from low-income families (59.18% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) and the district's increased spending per student (from $9,054 in 2020-2021 to $25,964 in 2023-2024), the academic performance has not shown any significant improvement. The school's ranking has remained in the bottom quarter of New York elementary schools, and its 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates a persistent challenge in improving student outcomes. The school's performance across different student subgroups, including female, male, and special education students, has also been consistently low, suggesting the need for more targeted and effective interventions to address the unique needs of the school's diverse population.
