Norwood City

The Norwood City school district in Ohio consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a diverse student population with a mix of White, African American, and Hispanic students. While some schools in the district, such as Norwood High School and Norwood Middle School, perform above the district and state averages in many subject areas, the elementary schools show more mixed results, with some grade levels performing above the district and state, while others lag behind.

One standout school in the district is Norwood View Elementary School, which excels in Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades, with proficiency rates of 80% and 96.4%, respectively. The school also has high proficiency rates in English Language Arts for 4th grade (89.3%) and 3rd grade (72%). Another notable school is The Norwood Montessori School, which has a higher percentage of White students (75%) and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (16.2%) in the district.

However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at Norwood High School (42%), and lower-than-average test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts across many grade levels. The variation in per-student spending across the schools also suggests the need for a more equitable distribution of resources to support all students in the Norwood City school district.
