Summary:
The 13815 zip code in New York is home to a single middle school, Norwich Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Norwich City School District, which is ranked 675 out of 874 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Norwich Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 987 out of 1500 middle schools in 2024-2025 to 1212 out of 1500 in 2022-2023. Student performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 30% to 54% across different grade levels and subject areas. However, the school performs better than the district average on some Regents exams, such as Living Environment (100% vs. 68.28% district) and Algebra I (100% vs. 54.51% district).
The school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 52.42% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. Despite the higher per-student spending of $26,279, which is above the state average, the school's academic performance suggests that more support may be needed to help students succeed. The low student-teacher ratio of 9.7 could be a positive factor, but it does not appear to be translating into significantly better outcomes for the students.
