Summary:
The 05033 zip code is home to two schools: Oxbow Union High School and Bradford Elementary School. While both schools have seen a decline in their statewide rankings over the past few years, they maintain decent 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger and favorable student-teacher ratios of 9.5 to 1.
Oxbow Union High School has seen a significant drop in its ranking, falling from 8th out of 16 Vermont high schools to 36th out of 42 in just a few years. However, the school maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.0% and performs above the state average in 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, though it struggles in 9th grade ELA and all grades for Mathematics. Bradford Elementary School has also experienced a decline in its ranking, from 41st out of 113 Vermont elementary schools to 64th out of 137, but it excels in 6th grade ELA proficiency while lagging behind in 3rd grade ELA and all grades for Mathematics and Science.
Both schools face challenges related to high rates of economic disadvantage, with over 60% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This factor may contribute to the academic struggles observed in certain subject areas and grade levels. Despite these challenges, the schools' favorable student-teacher ratios suggest that they are able to provide personalized attention and support to their students. Further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the academic performance gaps and improve the overall quality of education in the 05033 zip code.
