Summary:
The 05860 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Orleans Elementary School and Brownington Central School) and 1 high school (Lake Region Union High School). While the high school is a strong performer, ranking among the top schools in Vermont, the elementary schools face more significant challenges in academic achievement.
Lake Region Union High School stands out as a top-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 20 high schools in Vermont. The school has a 4-year graduation rate of 82.0%, which is above the state average. However, the school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.3%, an area that the school should address.
In contrast, the elementary schools in the 05860 zip code area face more significant challenges. Orleans Elementary School has shown strong performance in English Language Arts, but struggles in Mathematics, with only 18.75% of 4th-grade students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 34.25%. Brownington Central School performs significantly below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 8th-grade students. These disparities in academic achievement may be influenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at all three schools, ranging from 57.51% to 75.76%, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
