It was recently brought to the attention of the Norwood R-I School District that Norwood High School has been cited in a national publication for being one of the best high schools in the nation.
In collaboration with School Evaluation Services – a K-12 education and data research and analysis business – U.S. News and World Report analyzed academic and enrollment data from more than 21,000 high schools in 48 states to find the best public high schools.
In the 2009 U.S. News and World Report America's Best High Schools, a three-step methodology was used to rate the schools. This data and research comes from Standard & Poor's, and is based on the key principles that a great high school must serve all students well, not just those who plan to attend college, and the school must be able to produce measurable academic outcomes to show that the school is successfully educating the student body across a range of performance indicators.
