GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Norwood is a excellent school. However it is over crowded. I dont think elementary kids should be mixed with the middle school population. I ALSO THINK THAT THE SCHOOL SHOULD HAVE MORE FIELD TRIPS FOR ALL GRADES & HAVE PARENTS VOLUNTEER ON TRIPS. AS FAR AS 5TH GRADE, IM HOPING THIS YEAR AND FORWARD THAT THEY HAVE A BETTER CEREMONY, WHAT HAPPENED TO CAKE AND PUNCH AFTER 5TH GRADE GRADUATIONS & DRESSING UP FOR GRADUATION, ETC, PARENTS WANT MEMORIES NOT BORING ONES! BALTIMORE CITY SCHOOLS HAS BETTER CERMONIES THAN THE COUNTY, IM SADNED THAT BALTIMORE COUNTY DOESNT DO THIS FOR THEIR STUDENTS, THEY DONT EVEN HAVE KINDERGARTEN GRADUATIONS. SORRY FOR THE LONG SPEACH.. NORWOOD IS A GREAT SCHOOL, I JUST THINK THE KIDS DESERVE TO GO ON FIELD TRIPS ETC.

This used to be a great school prior to 2012. Since then, Eastwood Elementary was closed and combined with Norwood and Holabird Middle. Students in grades 4 & 5 have been transplanted into a wing of Holabird Middle. Obviously, student count has grown significantly, even pushed for higher numbers to...
