Summary:

The city of Norristown, Pennsylvania is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Norristown Area School District, except for Woodland Elementary School which is part of the Methacton School District.

Based on the data, a few schools stand out as performing better than others in the district. Woodland Elementary School consistently outperforms the state and district averages on PSSA math and English language arts tests, with over 60% of students proficient or advanced. Paul V. Fly Elementary School also has stronger math and English language arts proficiency rates compared to other elementary schools in the district, with around 50% of students proficient or advanced. While not the highest performing, Davenport Elementary School has better math and science proficiency than many of its peers in the district.

The data reveals significant performance gaps between schools in the Norristown Area School District, with graduation rates around 87.9% at both Norristown Area High School and Roosevelt Campus of Norristown Area High School. However, there is a wide range in student proficiency on the PSSA and Keystone exams across the district, and most schools have over 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage.
