Hazen Union High School District #26

Hazen Union High School is the sole high school in the Hazen Union High School District #26 in Vermont, serving students in grades 9-12. The school's performance, based on available data, suggests it is underperforming compared to other high schools in the state.

Hazen Union High School is ranked 29th out of 47 Vermont high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state averages for 8th and 9th grade students. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (66.19%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.7, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning and engagement, and its higher-than-average spending per student of $13,510, the school's academic performance remains below the state's standards. This disconnect between spending and outcomes highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to address the challenges facing the school and its students.
