School Choice
INTRA-DISTRICT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHOICE
The ANWSD Board adopted a policy that allows a fixed number of students to choose to attend an elementary school other than their own with the School District boundaries.
This policy allows the Superintendent to ensure that receiving schools have balanced classrooms and that class sizes stay within reasonable limits. In the event that requests exceed reasonable limits, a lottery to determine which students can be selected to attend.
An application must be filed no later than April 1st, and a decision in writing to the parents will be received by April 15th.
PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL CHOICE (grades 9-12)
Vergennes Union Middle and High School, along with all other Vermont public high schools, participates in a statewide system of public high school choice. Under this system, students from VUHS may apply to transfer to any other public high school in the state.
For the 2024-2025 school year, the maximum number of students eligible to transfer is limited to fifteen (15). The actual number will depend on the number of students selected in prior years to continue their enrollment at other area high schools.
Notification of decisions to all students who have applied to participate will be provided no later than April 1, 2024.
