Norwich School District


Summary:

The Norwich School District in Connecticut consists of 9 schools, including 7 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the district as a whole is struggling, with a low ranking and rating, a few standout schools are showing promising academic performance.

The Thomas W. Mahan School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. Another relatively strong performer is the Moriarty Magnet School, which also demonstrates better-than-average academic achievement. However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including large achievement gaps between the highest- and lowest-performing schools, as well as between the district and state averages.

The data suggests a positive correlation between per-student spending and academic performance, with the higher-spending schools generally outperforming the lower-spending schools. Additionally, the schools with lower student-teacher ratios tend to have better academic outcomes. While the Norwich School District is currently underperforming, the standout schools within the district could provide valuable insights for improving educational quality and equity across the entire district.
