Summary:

The 05764 zip code is home to a single high school, Poultney High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This school has consistently struggled to perform well, ranking in the bottom half of Vermont high schools and receiving a low 0 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating.

Poultney High School faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates in mathematics and science well below the state averages. The school also grapples with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 69%, indicating that a large portion of the student population is not regularly attending classes. Additionally, over half (54.33%) of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage within the school community.

Despite these challenges, the school maintains a respectable four-year graduation rate of 82.0%. However, the combination of low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors suggests that the school may require targeted interventions and additional resources to support student success and improve overall educational outcomes for the community it serves.
