Norton City

The Norton City school district in Ohio consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is home to several standout schools, with Norton Middle School and Norton Elementary School consistently ranking among the top schools in the state.

Norton Middle School is a particularly impressive institution, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently strong performance on Ohio State Tests, outpacing the state average in subjects like 8th grade science and math. The school also boasts a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools in the district. Norton Elementary School also stands out, with a 4-star rating and exceptional math performance, with 92.2% of 4th graders proficient or better, far exceeding the state average.

While the schools in the Norton City district generally outperform state averages, there are some areas for improvement, such as addressing the significant variation in chronic absenteeism rates across the schools and promoting greater diversity and inclusion within the predominantly white student population. Additionally, the notable differences in spending per student between the middle school and primary elementary school suggest the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and equity within the district.
