This school is underperforming compared to other high schools in the state, ranking 42 out of 42 Vermont high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a low 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hazen Union High School's performance on standardized tests is consistently below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across multiple grade levels.
