Summary:
The Norwood Education Service District 63 in Illinois contains only one elementary school, Norwood Primary School, which serves grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 235 students. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and above-average per-student spending, Norwood Primary School is a low-performing school, ranking in the bottom 20% of Illinois elementary schools and receiving the lowest possible rating from SchoolDigger.
Norwood Primary School struggles with extremely low academic proficiency rates, with less than 17% of students proficient in ELA and math across all grades - well below the state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.5%, which is likely a contributing factor to the poor academic outcomes. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty student population, with over 63% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, the data indicates that Norwood Primary School faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The combination of low academic performance, high poverty, and high absenteeism rates suggests that the school requires substantial intervention and support to improve student outcomes. While the school has relatively low student-teacher ratios and above-average per-student spending, these resources do not appear to be translating into academic success for the students.
