Summary:
The city of East Barre, Vermont has only one middle school, the Orange Center School, which serves grades 5-8 and has an enrollment of 80 students. The school is part of the Echo Valley Community Union School District #67, which is ranked 45 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Orange Center School has a chronic absenteeism rate of 42.8%, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is generally below the state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Science. For example, 8th-grade Mathematics proficiency is 9.09% compared to the Vermont average of 36.84%. Additionally, 57.5% of students at Orange Center School are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the relatively high spending per student of $11,874, which is above the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 13.5, which is slightly lower than the state average, the school's academic performance remains a concern. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, suggesting that the school may need to develop targeted strategies to address the challenges it faces, such as high chronic absenteeism and below-average academic performance, in order to improve student outcomes.
