Norwood School has consistently ranked in the top half of Rhode Island elementary schools, with a ranking between 62-104 out of 166-169 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance in RICAS (Rhode Island Comprehensive Assessment System) tests has been mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics fluctuating between 18-43.7% and 10.4-43.7%, respectively, over the past 5 years.

This suggests that the school may be effectively supporting these student subgroups and could provide valuable insights for other schools in the state.
