High Schools in Norristown Area School District


Summary:

The Norristown Area School District in Pennsylvania is home to two high schools: Norristown Area High School and Roosevelt Campus of the Norristown Area High School. Both schools face significant challenges, with low rankings and performance metrics compared to the state averages.

Neither school stands out as a clear standout in the district. Norristown Area High School ranks 617 out of 686 Pennsylvania high schools, with a 1-star rating, while Roosevelt Campus ranks even lower at 682 out of 686, with a 0-star rating. Both schools have similar graduation rates of 87.5%, but their test scores are significantly lower than the state averages, with Roosevelt Campus performing even worse than the district average.

The data suggests there may be underlying issues related to resource allocation and equity within the district. Roosevelt Campus, the smaller of the two schools, has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (96.45%) compared to Norristown Area High School (83.07%), yet it spends more per student ($23,601 vs. $18,862). This disparity raises concerns about the district's ability to provide equal educational opportunities to all students and address the unique needs of the student population, particularly at the Roosevelt Campus.
