The school is part of the Mount Mansfield Unified Union School District #401, which is ranked 5 out of 72 districts in Vermont and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Underhill Central School's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly, dropping from 27th out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 65th out of 133 in 2023-2024. While the school's 3rd-grade students outperformed the state average in English Language Arts, their 4th-grade students underperformed in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. With only 17.26% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Underhill Central School appears to serve a relatively affluent student population compared to the state average. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 14.3 to 1 is lower than the state average, which may contribute to a more personalized learning environment for students.

Overall, the analysis of Underhill Central School suggests a mix of strengths and areas for improvement. The fluctuating statewide ranking and variable academic performance indicate that the school's performance may be inconsistent or that the ranking criteria have changed. While the school serves a relatively affluent student population, its favorable student-teacher ratio may be a positive factor in the learning environment. Further analysis of additional schools in the area or statewide comparisons would be needed to draw more comprehensive conclusions about the educational landscape in the 05490 zip code.
