Summary:
The Paine Mountain Union School District #68 in Vermont consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 2 middle/high schools. The district serves a mix of rural and suburban communities, with varying student demographics and academic performance across the schools.
Among the standout schools, Williamstown Elementary School outperformed the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency for grades 3 and 5, and had higher Mathematics proficiency in grade 3. Meanwhile, Northfield Middle/High School also exceeded the state average in ELA proficiency for grades 8 and 9, placing it in the top half of Vermont high schools. However, the district's schools struggled with Mathematics proficiency, particularly Northfield Elementary School and Williamstown Middle/High School.
The data also reveals disparities in student demographics, with Northfield Elementary School having a more diverse student population compared to the other schools. Additionally, the district's schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as Williamstown Elementary School and Williamstown Middle/High School, tended to have lower academic performance. These findings suggest the need for the district to address equity and support for students from diverse and economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
