Norwich High School

Summary:

Norwich High School is a public high school serving 546 students in grades 9-12 in Norwich, New York, which is part of the Norwich City School District. While the school has some bright spots, it faces several challenges compared to nearby schools in the region.

One key area of concern is the school's academic performance. Norwich High School generally performs below the state and district averages on Regents exams, though it does excel in some subjects like Regents Chemistry and Algebra II. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 86.8% is lower than the nearby Bainbridge-Guilford High School (95.2%) and Greene High School (91.6%). Additionally, Norwich High School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 45.8%, significantly higher than the 18.3% rate at Gilbertsville-Mount Upton Junior-Senior High School.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as Norwich High School has a relatively high percentage of students (47.62%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families compared to nearby schools in the Bainbridge-Guilford Central School District and Greene Central School District. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, this does not seem to translate into consistently strong academic outcomes for all students, particularly for subgroups like African American and special education students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
