Summary

Norwood Elementary is a PK-5 school in Burleson, TX, serving 425 students within the Burleson Independent School District (Isd), a district that generally performs well but where Norwood stands out as a low-performing outlier.

Norwood Elementary currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 35th percentile statewide, a stark contrast to nearly all other elementary schools in its district, such as Judy Hajek Elementary and William Stribling Elementary, which consistently rank in the 70th-84th percentile. The school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4:1 and spends more per student ($10,514) than any comparable school in the district—for example, the high-performing Academy At Nola Dunn spends only $8,131 per student. Despite these resources, Norwood's STAAR proficiency rates are significantly below district and state averages across most subjects and grade levels, and its overall state ranking has declined steadily over the past five years.

There are notable exceptions to this trend. Norwood's 5th-grade students have consistently outperformed the state average in Mathematics and Science, and the school has shown remarkable effectiveness with its Special Education students, who ranked in the 66th percentile statewide. However, these bright spots are overshadowed by broad underperformance, particularly for its White student population, which ranked in the 16th percentile. The school serves a population where 56% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the performance gap with nearby Academy At Nola Dunn—which serves a more affluent population and ranks in the 84th percentile—highlights deep inequities in educational outcomes within the same community.
