Middle Schools in Echo Valley Community Union School District #67

The Echo Valley Community Union School District #67 in Vermont has only one middle school, Orange Center School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school has consistently performed below the state average on standardized tests across multiple subjects and grade levels, ranking in the lower half of Vermont middle schools.

Orange Center School faces several challenges, including a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (57.5%) and a chronic absenteeism rate of 42.8%. The school's performance on standardized tests is concerning, with proficiency rates ranging from 38.89% in 5th-grade English Language Arts to just 9.09% in 8th-grade mathematics, compared to state averages. The school's science proficiency rates are also well below the state average.

While the school's per-student spending and student-teacher ratio are within reasonable ranges, the consistently low academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. The district and school leaders may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes at Orange Center School.
