Summary:
The 05404 zip code in Vermont is home to a single high school, Winooski High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data suggests it is underperforming compared to other high schools in the state.
Winooski High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Vermont high schools in the SchoolDigger rankings, with a 1-star rating out of 5. The school's four-year graduation rate of 82.0% is below the state average, and it has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 58.8%. Academically, Winooski High School students performed poorly on the VTCAP assessments, with only 22.2% proficient or better in English Language Arts, 20.5% in Mathematics, and 34% in Science, compared to the state average of 44.46% in Science.
Despite higher per-student spending of $15,247 and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.4 to 1, Winooski High School's challenges appear to be rooted in the socioeconomic factors faced by its student population. A very high percentage (80.22%) of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Addressing these socioeconomic factors, in addition to improving instructional quality and school climate, may be necessary to help the Winooski Incorporated School District improve the performance and outcomes of Winooski High School.
