Summary:
Norwood Public School District in New Jersey is home to a single standout elementary school, Norwood Public School, which serves grades PK-8 and has consistently ranked in the top 15% of New Jersey elementary schools over the past three years. This school's exceptional academic performance, strong student engagement, and efficient resource allocation make it a shining example within the district.
Norwood Public School's students have significantly outperformed the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels, with an 86.1% proficiency rate in 6th-grade ELA compared to the state average of 53.2%. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, indicating strong student engagement. However, the school's demographic profile, with only 2.13% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that the Norwood Public School District may not be serving a diverse student population or addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students.
While Norwood Public School's overall performance is impressive, the school's relatively low proficiency rates in 8th-grade Mathematics (7.7%) and 8th-grade Science (30%) suggest that the school may need to focus on strengthening its curriculum and instruction in these subject areas. Nevertheless, the school's consistent top-tier ranking and performance over the past three school years demonstrate its ability to maintain high standards and deliver excellent educational outcomes for its students.
