Fair Haven Grade School

Summary:

Fair Haven Grade School is an elementary school located in Fair Haven, Vermont, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 264 students. The school is part of the Slate Valley Unified Union School District, which is ranked 41 out of 51 districts in Vermont and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Fair Haven Grade School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.08%) compared to surrounding schools, it consistently underperforms the state average in standardized test scores across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 47.06% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 55.65% and 52.7%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for male students and white students, ranking in the bottom half of Vermont elementary schools in these subgroups. Additionally, Fair Haven Grade School has a relatively high percentage of students (39.77%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to some nearby schools.

The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past three school years, from 125th out of 148 Vermont elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 85th out of 113 in 2022-2023. While Fair Haven Grade School is part of the same school district as Benson Village School and Castleton Elementary School, its academic performance is significantly lower, with Castleton Elementary School outperforming Fair Haven Grade School in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics in the 2022-2023 school year. To improve student outcomes, the school and Slate Valley Unified Union School District may need to implement targeted strategies to address these challenges and provide additional support and resources to students and teachers.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
