High Schools in White River Unified School District #79

Summary:

The White River Unified School District #79 in Vermont is home to a single high school, White River Valley High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three school years, indicating a relatively stable level of performance.

White River Valley High School's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 82.0%, slightly below the national average, but the school's student-teacher ratio of 8.6 to 1 in the 2024-2025 school year suggests smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 39.9% in the 2020-2021 school year is a concern, and the proficiency rates in VTCAP/English Language Arts (42.31%) and VTCAP/Mathematics (40.74%) for 9th-grade students in the 2024-2025 school year are below the state average, indicating a need for academic interventions or curriculum improvements.

The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (61.61%) at White River Valley High School suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may have implications for resource allocation and support services. Overall, the data provides a snapshot of the school's performance and characteristics, highlighting areas of strength, such as the low student-teacher ratio, as well as potential areas for improvement, such as academic proficiency and chronic absenteeism.
