Summary:
The city of East Corinth, Vermont has a single public school, the Waits River Valley Union School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. With a total enrollment of 263 students, the school has a predominantly white student population, with 97.34% of students identifying as white. While the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rates exceed the statewide average, its English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates and math proficiency rates for grades 4 and 7 fall below the state average.
Waits River Valley Union School faces some challenges, including a relatively high percentage of students (38.02%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 50th out of 133 Vermont elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 60th out of 113 in 2022-2023, with a decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 2. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its academic performance, particularly in ELA and upper-grade math, to better serve its students and community.
Despite these challenges, the Waits River Union High District #36 is committed to providing a quality education to the students of East Corinth. By addressing the school's areas of weakness and leveraging its strengths, the district can work to enhance the educational outcomes and overall success of the Waits River Valley Union School and its students.
