Summary:
The Oxbow Unified Union School District #91 in Vermont consists of three schools: one high school, Oxbow Union High School, and two elementary schools, Bradford Elementary School and Newbury Elementary School. The district serves a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced lunch across all three schools.
Oxbow Union High School has had a mixed performance, ranking 8th out of 16 Vermont high schools in 2022-2023 but then dropping to 36th out of 42 in 2024-2025. However, the school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82%. In contrast, Bradford Elementary School has consistently performed well, ranking in the top half of Vermont elementary schools and outperforming the state average in several academic areas, particularly in 6th-grade English Language Arts and Science.
The smaller class size at Newbury Elementary School, with a student-teacher ratio of 8, may contribute to its performance, though the school's 5th-grade students underperformed the state average in Science. Overall, the data suggests that while Bradford Elementary School is a standout performer, the district as a whole faces challenges, including the declining performance of Oxbow Union High School and the high rates of economic disadvantage among students.
