Best Public Schools in East Corinth, VT

Summary:

The city of East Corinth, Vermont has only one school, the Waits River Valley Union School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This elementary school is part of the Waits River Union High District #36, which is ranked 65th out of 72 districts in Vermont and rated 1 out of 5 stars.

The Waits River Valley Union School does not appear to be a standout performer in the state. Its statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, dropping from 50th out of 133 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 105th out of 133 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the VTCAP, is generally below the statewide averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate is 40% compared to the statewide average of 48%, and in 5th grade Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate is 13.33% compared to the statewide average of 36%.

Additionally, the school has a high rate of students (61.03%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is often an indicator of economic disadvantage. This, combined with the school's low district ranking and declining statewide performance, suggests that the Waits River Valley Union School may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Further investigation into the root causes of the school's performance issues and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes.
