Summary:

The 05701 zip code in Vermont is home to a single high school, Rutland Senior High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Rutland City School District. While the school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, it faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, mixed academic performance, and serving a population with significant economic disadvantages.

Rutland Senior High School's statewide ranking has varied in recent years, ranging from 11th out of 37 Vermont high schools in 2021-2022 to 20th out of 47 in 2023-2024. The school's 4-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 82.0%, and its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the VTCAP assessments, was mixed, with 45.35% proficient or better in English Language Arts and 39.77% proficient or better in Mathematics for 9th grade in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's science proficiency rates for 11th grade were above the statewide average at 53.21%.

One of the most significant challenges facing Rutland Senior High School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 84.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, which indicates a significant issue with student engagement and attendance. Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage of students (64.49%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2024-2025 school year, suggesting the school faces the unique challenges of serving a population with significant economic disadvantages. The Rutland City School District as a whole is also ranked 57 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, which could be a contributing factor to the school's own performance and challenges.
