Summary:
The city of Brattleboro, Vermont is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Windham Southeast Unified Union School District #96. While some schools, like Brattleboro Area Middle School and Academy School, are performing relatively well with high rankings and test scores, others like Green Street School and Oak Grove School are struggling, with much lower proficiency rates and rankings compared to state averages.
The data suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, like Oak Grove School and Green Street School, tend to have lower test scores and rankings. This highlights the importance of targeted interventions and support to address the factors contributing to the achievement gap between the higher and lower-performing schools in the district.
On a positive note, the strong performance of Brattleboro Area Middle School and Academy School presents an opportunity for the district to identify and share best practices with the lower-performing schools, which could help raise the overall academic standards across the Brattleboro school system.
