Summary:
The 13815 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools share some common characteristics, such as a predominantly white student population and relatively high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, their academic performance varies significantly.
Norwich High School stands out as the strongest performer, with relatively high proficiency rates on Regents exams, particularly in subjects like Chemistry, Algebra II, and Physics. However, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 86.8% and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 45.8% suggest areas for improvement. In contrast, Perry Browne Intermediate School is the lowest-performing school, with proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments well below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math, and a statewide ranking in the bottom 10% of New York elementary schools.
The Norwich City School District and the Delaware-Chenango-Madison-Otsego BOCES serve the schools in the 13815 zip code area. While the per-student spending across the schools is relatively consistent, ranging from $14,434 to $16,528, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the schools and the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and address equity challenges, such as the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across the schools.
