Among the standout schools in Rutland is Rutland Town Elementary School, which is consistently ranked as one of the top elementary schools in Vermont.

In contrast, the other schools in the Rutland City School District struggle to meet state averages, with Rutland Senior High School being the only other school to perform above the state average on certain measures.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance and resource allocation across the Rutland schools. The schools with the highest rates of economically disadvantaged students, such as Rutland Intermediate School and Rutland Middle School, tend to have the lowest proficiency rates on standardized tests. Additionally, the variation in spending per student across the district raises questions about the equity of resource distribution. As the Rutland City School District as a whole is rated 1-star by SchoolDigger, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and strategies to address the disparities in educational outcomes within the district.
