Norwood

The Norwood school district in Massachusetts consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant variation in academic performance across the district, with some schools consistently ranking among the top in the state while others lag behind.

The standout schools in Norwood are F A Cleveland and Charles J Prescott, both of which have strong test scores and are ranked in the top 25-35% of Massachusetts elementary schools. In contrast, Balch lags behind the district and state averages in many academic areas. The district's high school, Norwood High, stands out with a high graduation rate and test scores above the state average.

Overall, the data suggests that while the Norwood school district has some high-performing schools, there are also significant disparities in student outcomes that warrant further investigation. Factors beyond just district-level funding and resources may be contributing to these differences, and the district should focus on ensuring more equitable educational opportunities for all students.
