Summary:
The city of Fair Haven, Vermont is home to two schools: Fair Haven Union Middle and High School, which serves grades 7-12, and Fair Haven Grade School, which serves grades PK-6. These schools are part of the Slate Valley Unified Union School District #62.
While Fair Haven Union Middle and High School has seen fluctuating state rankings, it generally performs better than the elementary school, with higher test scores and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Fair Haven Grade School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Vermont elementary schools, with mixed test scores and a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
The racial makeup of both schools is relatively homogeneous, with over 90% of the student population being white. This data highlights the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the performance differences between the two schools, such as teaching quality, curriculum, resource allocation, and community engagement. Understanding these drivers could help inform strategies to improve educational outcomes across the district.
