U-32 Middle & High School

Summary:

U-32 Middle & High School is a public school serving 692 students in grades 7-12 in Montpelier, Vermont, which is part of the Washington Central Unified Union School District. The school consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, but lags behind in science, particularly in 11th grade. While female students excel at the school, male and special education students have struggled, though low socioeconomic status students perform relatively well.

Compared to nearby schools, U-32 Middle & High School generally outperforms Hazen Union High School, but falls behind the highly-ranked Stowe High School and Harwood Union Middle/High School. Within its own district, U-32 outperforms Northfield Middle/High School and Williamstown Middle/High School. The school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, and its performance on specific assessments has also shown some variability over time.

While U-32 Middle & High School has many strengths, the significant gap in performance between male and female students is an area that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure equitable outcomes. Additionally, the struggles of special education students suggest a need for additional support and resources in this area. Overall, the school provides a solid education, but there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in science and supporting all student subgroups.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
