Norfolk City Public Schools


Summary:

The Norfolk City Public Schools district in Virginia serves a diverse student population across 41 schools, including 30 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 5 high schools. The district faces significant disparities in academic performance, with some standout schools like Academy for Discovery at Lakewood and Larchmont Elementary ranking among the top in the state, while others struggle with low proficiency rates.

The data reveals a strong correlation between higher per-student spending and better academic outcomes, suggesting the importance of adequate funding and resources for schools. Additionally, schools with lower student-teacher ratios, such as Academy for Discovery at Lakewood and Walter Herron Taylor Elementary, tend to have stronger performance, highlighting the benefits of personalized attention for students.

Many of the lower-performing schools in the Norfolk City Public Schools district serve economically disadvantaged student populations, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. This suggests that these schools face significant challenges in addressing the needs of their students and may require targeted interventions and additional resources to improve educational outcomes.
