Best Public Schools in Zip Code 05649

Summary:

The 05649 zip code is home to a single public middle school, Orange Center School, which serves grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 77 students. The school is part of the Echo Valley Community Union School District #67, which is ranked 28 out of 51 districts in Vermont and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Orange Center School has a student-teacher ratio slightly lower than the statewide average, its academic performance on the VTCAP tests is consistently below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 8th grade English Language Arts, only 29.41% of students were proficient or better, compared to the statewide average of 55.74%. The school also has a high percentage of students (35.06%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes.

Despite the school's low academic performance, its per-student spending is above the statewide average at $11,874 per student. This suggests that additional resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes, and the school may need to examine how it is allocating and utilizing its funding. Additionally, the school's student population is entirely White, which may not reflect the diversity of the broader community and could be an area for the school to explore and address.
