Summary:
The Maple Run Unified Union School District #57 in Vermont consists of 4 schools: 3 elementary schools (St. Albans Town Educational Center, St. Albans City Elementary School, and Fairfield Center School) and 1 high school (Bellows Free Academy (St. Albans)).
Among the schools, Fairfield Center School stands out as the top performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other schools in the district. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 39.36%. In contrast, the other two elementary schools, St. Albans Town Educational Center and St. Albans City Elementary School, lag behind in academic performance, with lower test scores and lower rankings. As the only high school in the district, Bellows Free Academy (St. Albans) has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82%, but its overall performance has declined, dropping from 24th to 30th out of 42 Vermont high schools over the past few years.
The district as a whole faces challenges, with a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by the high rates of free or reduced-price lunch eligibility across the schools, ranging from 39.36% to 65.49%. This could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed in some of the schools. The data suggests that the district may benefit from implementing targeted interventions and support programs, particularly at the lower-performing elementary schools, to help improve student outcomes and close achievement gaps.
