Summary

Fair Haven Grade School is an elementary school located in Fair Haven, Vermont, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 248 students. The school is part of the Slate Valley Unified Union School District, which is ranked 26th out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Fair Haven Grade School has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the state averages. While the school has outperformed the state in some grade levels and subjects, it has also underperformed in others. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 4th-grade students outperformed the state average in English Language Arts, but the 5th-grade students underperformed in Science. The school has also performed relatively well for low socioeconomic status students, ranking in the top half of Vermont elementary schools in this category, but has seen notable differences in performance between male and female students, with male students consistently ranking in the top half of Vermont elementary schools and female students ranking in the bottom half.

Compared to the nearby Castleton Elementary School, which is also part of the Slate Valley Unified Union School District, Fair Haven Grade School has generally lower test scores and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. However, Fair Haven Grade School's student-teacher ratio is better than Castleton Elementary School's. Additionally, Mettawee Community School, which is in a different district, has outperformed Fair Haven Grade School on several state assessments and has a lower student-teacher ratio, suggesting there may be opportunities for Fair Haven Grade School to learn from its neighboring schools.
