Summary:
The Rutland City School District in Vermont has only one middle school, Rutland Middle School, which serves grades 7-8 with an enrollment of 249 students. Based on the available data, Rutland Middle School appears to be a struggling school, consistently ranking in the bottom half of Vermont middle schools in recent years.
Rutland Middle School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 73.3%, significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores are also well below state averages in all subject areas and grade levels, with only around 40% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (78.31%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's low academic performance, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 to 1, which is better than the state average. However, the data does not provide information on other factors that may be contributing to the school's challenges, such as teacher quality, curriculum, or school leadership. Overall, the analysis suggests that Rutland Middle School is in need of significant improvement and intervention to address the academic and socioeconomic challenges facing its student population.
