Summary:
The 06360 zip code area of Norwich, Connecticut is home to 12 schools serving students from preschool through 12th grade, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The data reveals a diverse range of academic performance across these schools, with some standout institutions like Integrated Day Charter School and Thomas W. Mahan School significantly outperforming the district and state averages on test scores, while others struggle to meet benchmarks.
The top-performing schools in the area are Integrated Day Charter School, a public charter school for grades PK-8 that excels in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and Thomas W. Mahan School, an elementary school that also outperforms the district and state in core academic areas. At the high school level, Three Rivers Middle College Magnet School stands out with the highest SAT proficiency rates among the schools in the data set.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance, with many schools serving a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and performing well below the state averages. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the achievement gap across the Norwich School District, which is ranked 153rd out of 158 districts in Connecticut. The findings highlight the importance of exploring alternative school models, such as the successful charter and magnet schools in the area, to improve educational equity and student success.
