High Schools in Norwich Free Academy District


Summary:

The Norwich Free Academy District in Connecticut is home to a single high school, Norwich Free Academy, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a mix of racial backgrounds, but faces challenges in academic performance, ranking, and socioeconomic factors.

Norwich Free Academy has a diverse student body, with 46.58% White, 10.58% African American, 26.41% Hispanic, 7.82% Asian, and other minority groups represented. However, the school's academic performance is concerning, with 11th-grade proficiency rates in SAT/English Language Arts (47.6%), SAT/Math (20.4%), and NGSS/Science (39.9%) all falling below the state averages. The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, currently standing at 83 out of 145 Connecticut high schools and rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Socioeconomic challenges also appear to be a factor, with 52.43% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.7 is slightly higher than the recommended 15:1 or lower. While the diverse student population is a strength, the school must address the declining academic performance and socioeconomic barriers to ensure equitable opportunities and support for all students.
