Summary:
The 05649 zip code is home to a single middle school, the Orange Center School, which serves students in grades 6-8. This small school, with an enrollment of just 80 students, has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Vermont middle schools and struggles academically, with proficiency rates below the state average in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5 to 1, which could be a strength in providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school faces other significant obstacles, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 42.8% and a majority (57.5%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population.
Overall, the data suggests that the Echo Valley Community Union School District #67 may need to provide targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs and challenges faced by the Orange Center School in order to improve student outcomes and academic performance.
