Best Public Schools in Zip Code 05081

Summary:

The 05081 zip code area is home to a single alternative public school, Blue Mountain Union School, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 392 students.

Blue Mountain Union School has a mixed performance profile. While its 8th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate of 61.54% exceeds the state average of 59.84%, the school struggles in other areas. Its 3rd and 5th-grade ELA proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state benchmarks, and its mathematics proficiency across all grade levels lags behind Vermont's averages. Additionally, the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 47.6%, which is much higher than the state average.

On a positive note, Blue Mountain Union School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.6, which could be an advantage in providing more individualized attention and support to students. However, the school also faces challenges related to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 71.94% of the student population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may require additional resources and targeted interventions to address the needs of its student body and improve overall academic performance.
