Summary:
The Maple Run Unified Union School District #57 in Vermont is home to a single high school, Bellows Free Academy (St. Albans), which serves students in grades 9-12. While the district has only one high school, an analysis of the school's performance data provides valuable insights for parents and the community.
Bellows Free Academy (St. Albans) has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 24th out of 37 Vermont high schools in 2021-2022 to 30th out of 42 in 2024-2025. Its overall rating has remained at 2 out of 5 stars. The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 82.0%, which is below the state average. Additionally, Bellows Free Academy (St. Albans) has lower proficiency rates compared to the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
Despite these academic challenges, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (42.54%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.3 is lower than the state average, suggesting a relatively small class size that could be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and support to students. As the district and school work to address these areas of concern, they may be able to build on this potential strength to improve student outcomes.
