Competition Recognizes Community’s Efforts to Reduce High School Dropout Rates
October 12, 2011 Norwood, Ohio— Norwood achieved national recognition as one of America’s Promise Alliance’s 100 Best Communities for Young People presented by ING for its initiatives to help young people.

Norwood, a two-time 100 Best winner, continues to make young people a priority by developing initiatives to reduce the dropout rate, support youth activism and offer a range of educational programs. Over the past decade, the community has increased its graduation rate by 13 percent and has focused students on post-graduate goals by filling the high school walls with college banners, photos of alumni who went to college and posters about post-secondary studies and careers.

Local schools are using a 21st Century Learning Grant to expand services—including 70 different clubs—to elementary, middle and high school students.
