Summary:

Norwood-Norfolk School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Norwood-Norfolk Central School District, with 314 students located in Norwood, NY. The school's academic performance is generally above the state average, with several subjects like Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, and Physics having significantly higher proficiency rates than the state. However, the school's performance on some subjects like Earth Science and Living Environment is below the state average.

Norwood-Norfolk's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 79.1% and 86.3% over the past few years, which is generally in line with the state average, but its dropout rate has varied from 4.9% to 10.0%, slightly higher than the state average. Nearby schools like H.C. Williams Senior High School and Potsdam Senior High School have slightly higher graduation rates and lower dropout rates compared to Norwood-Norfolk. The school also has a relatively high proportion of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 49.24% to 58.6% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

One significant concern for Norwood-Norfolk is its consistently high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 30.4% to 37.8% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. This high chronic absenteeism rate may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance and graduation rates. Overall, Norwood-Norfolk appears to be a middle-performing school within its region, with some strengths in certain academic areas but also room for improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of its more disadvantaged student population and improving attendance.

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.
