Summary:
The Quarry Valley Unified Union School District #70 in Vermont operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school serving grades PK-12. The district faces some challenges, with disparities in school performance and high rates of chronic absenteeism, but also has some standout schools that are performing well.
Proctor Junior/Senior High School is the top-performing high school in the district, ranking 12th out of 47 Vermont high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.7, which may contribute to its higher performance. In contrast, Poultney High School and Proctor Elementary School are struggling, with significantly lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
The district as a whole faces socioeconomic challenges, with all schools having relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.86% to 59.18%. The West Rutland School, an alternative school, stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82%, but also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.8%. The district should focus on addressing these issues and implementing targeted interventions to support the lower-performing schools and improve overall student outcomes.
