Despite Norwood School's higher spending per student ($19,683) and lower student-teacher ratio (12.3) compared to state averages, the school's academic performance still lags behind.

Addressing the school's performance challenges and identifying strategies to improve student learning should be a priority for the school and the Interboro School District.
