Summary:

The 05641 zip code is home to a single public high school, Spaulding Union High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has an enrollment of 610 students. The school is part of the Barre Unified Union School District #97, which is ranked 51 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spaulding Union High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, going from 16th out of 37 Vermont high schools in 2021-2022 to 34th out of 47 in 2023-2024, and then 25th out of 42 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger rating has remained at 2 stars out of 5 during this time. The school's 4-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 82.0%, and its proficiency rates on the 2024-2025 VTCAP assessments were below the state average in Science (38.33% vs. 44.46%) and potentially in English Language Arts and Mathematics (no state averages provided for comparison).

With 45.74% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Spaulding Union High School appears to serve a relatively economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 10.7 is relatively low, which could be an advantage in terms of providing more individualized attention and support for students. Overall, the data suggests that Spaulding Union High School is facing some challenges, and further analysis and comparison to other Vermont high schools would be needed to fully understand the school's performance and identify areas for improvement.
