What this school's NCES data tells you

That figure sits 6% below the Vermont state mean of 13:1, signalling more teacher attention per pupil than the state benchmark. Against the national 2024-25 average of 15.7:1, it is 22% lower, a useful calibration for families comparing districts across state lines.

The free-lunch share is 72% above the Vermont average and 8% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 123 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 36.6% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Coventry School District spends $21,525 per pupil district-wide, above the Vermont average of $19,105 and above the national average of $16,593.
