District-Level NCES Analysis

Green Mountain Unified School District #77 operates 3 public schools serving 689 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Vermont. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 other schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 615 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Windsor County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $21,268 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 7.4% local, 91.7% state, and 0.9% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $99,058 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 33/100, ranked #64 of 80 in Vermont against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 3 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 138.3:1 student-counselor ratio that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 44.3% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 88.4% White, 7.7% Hispanic or Latino, 0.5% African American across the district's schools.

Green Mountain Union High School accounts for 48.8% of all Green Mountain Unified School District #77 student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Green Mountain Unified School District #77-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Green Mountain Unified School District #77 student-counselor ratio is 138:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.

Green Mountain Unified School District #77 chronic absenteeism rate is 44.3% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
