Best Public Schools in Fair Haven, VT

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.

Understanding these drivers could help inform strategies to improve educational outcomes across the district.
