Summary:
The Waits River Union High District #36 in Vermont is home to a single elementary school, Waits River Valley Union School, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 265 students.
Waits River Valley Union School appears to be a low-performing school, with a low statewide ranking, high chronic absenteeism, and below-average academic proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state averages. The school serves a high-needs population, with a large percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Despite the low performance, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which could be an asset if leveraged effectively to support student learning.
While the school's per-student spending is above the state average, this does not seem to be translating into strong academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be at play. Overall, the data indicates that Waits River Valley Union School is facing significant challenges, and further investigation may be warranted to understand the root causes and identify potential areas for improvement.
