Public school data · every K-12 district · Vermont
Pick a district and see where it stands apart — today's standing, the direction of travel, and who stays through high school — against its ten most similar districts or every Vermont district running a K-12 system. A companion to the Comparer, which charts each measure year by year.
Latest reported year for each measure. The tall tick is the chosen district; dark ticks are its comparison group, faint ticks the rest of the K-12 field, and the caret is the Vermont average. Test scores default to standing vs demographic expectation — how far above or below the score a district's student mix would predict, with Vermont at zero by construction. Switch to actual values with the toggle above.
Change over a fixed window — the current test for assessments, pre-pandemic to now for graduation, attendance, and college continuation, and roughly a decade for enrollment. Ranks reward improvement, not level.
Of the students enrolled in grade 8, how many are still enrolled in grade 12 four years later — and where each grade-to-grade hand-off changed after the Act 46 reorganizations (average of cohorts before 2019-20 vs. after 2020-21).
