Summary

Rutland Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in the Rutland City School District in Vermont. With 504 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Vermont elementary schools over the past several years, earning a 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rutland Intermediate School faces significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism, which have risen from 17.3% in 2018-2019 to 40.2% in 2023-2024 - much higher than the nearby Northwest Primary School (19.2%) and Shrewsbury Mountain School (19.1%). The school's academic proficiency rates are also consistently well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 34.11% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and just 14.62% of 3rd graders and 11.36% of 5th graders meeting math proficiency standards.

Contributing to the school's academic challenges is its high percentage of students from low-income families, with 81.15% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-2025 - significantly higher than the nearby Killington Elementary School (29.46%) and Barstow Memorial School (24.4%). While Rutland Intermediate School's per-student spending of $14,313 in 2018-2019 was higher than some nearby schools, this has not translated into better academic outcomes, raising questions about resource allocation and targeting student needs.
