While East Montpelier Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, it does have a diverse mix of students, including African American, Hispanic, and Native American students. This diversity may contribute to the school's strong academic performance and provide a rich learning environment for students. However, the relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch may suggest that the school serves a more affluent community, raising questions about equity and access to high-quality education for students from lower-income families in the area.
