Summary:

The North Country Union High School District in Vermont is home to a single high school, North Country Union High School. This school has faced declining performance in recent years, ranking 40th out of 42 Vermont high schools in the 2024-2025 school year with a 0-star rating, down from a 2-star rating in 2018-2019.

Academically, North Country Union High School struggles, with only 27.53% of 9th-grade students proficient or better in VTCAP/English Language Arts and 22.16% proficient or better in VTCAP/Mathematics, compared to statewide averages of 44.46%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.4%, which may be contributing to its low graduation rate of 82.0% in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, over 60% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $10,989 and a student-teacher ratio of 10.6 in the 2024-2025 school year, North Country Union High School's performance has not improved. The district and school leadership may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the academic underperformance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors impacting the school's outcomes.
