Summary:
The city of Bellows Falls, Vermont is home to three public schools: Bellows Falls Union High School, Bellows Falls Middle School, and Central Elementary School. These schools serve students from the Bellows Falls Union High School District #27 and the Rockingham School District.
Based on the available data, the schools in Bellows Falls appear to be underperforming compared to other schools in Vermont. The high school had an 82.0% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average, and all three schools had significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages. Additionally, the schools had very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.2% to 30.0%, indicating a significant challenge in student engagement and attendance.
The economic disadvantages faced by the student population are also evident, with all three schools having very high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 56.77% to 64.84%. While the relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 9.4 to 10.5, could be a positive factor, it's unclear if this is translating into better educational outcomes for the students. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in Bellows Falls are struggling to provide a high-quality education for their students, and significant improvements may be needed to address the various challenges faced by these institutions.
