Despite these academic challenges, Vergennes Union Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3, which could be a strength, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 48.57% indicates a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present unique challenges and require targeted support.
