Summary

Fair Haven Union Middle and High School is a public school serving 499 students in grades 7-12 in Fair Haven, Vermont, which is part of the Slate Valley Unified Union School District. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics lagging behind nearby schools like Rutland Senior High School and Proctor Junior/Senior High School.

Fair Haven Union's four-year graduation rate is around 82%, which is on par with the rates of nearby schools. However, the school has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with around 54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic challenge may be contributing to the school's academic struggles, as its performance rankings for different student subgroups have fluctuated significantly over the past few years. The school's chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25% to 57%, are also higher than some of the nearby schools, which could be a factor in its academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Fair Haven Union Middle and High School has shown some areas of strength, outperforming Otter Valley Union High School and Mill River Union High School in certain metrics. Addressing the root causes of student disengagement, implementing targeted interventions, and focusing on continuous improvement could help the school better serve its students and community.
