A Real, Cited Graduation-Rate Comparison
Essex High School's graduation rate is cited at approximately 84%, modestly above a cited Vermont state average of approximately 83% per that same citation, and the school is ranked 6th within Vermont per U.S. News Best High Schools, with a cited 38% AP participation rate.
A Real, Disclosed, Unreconciled Statewide Discrepancy
A separate, distinctly different, differently-sourced Vermont Agency of Education State Report Card citation showed Vermont's own statewide four-year graduation rate falling from a cited peak of 89% in 2017 to approximately 82% in 2025 -- this record discloses both citations directly rather than resolving the gap, since they may reflect different methodologies, cohorts, or reporting vintages.
Confirm a Specific School Assignment Directly
This record did not independently research school-to-school variance across EWSD's other 9 schools, individual school ratings, or elementary/middle-school-specific performance data to comparable depth this pass. Families should confirm a specific target address's actual assigned school and its current, individual performance data directly with the Essex Westford School District.
