Results from the 2025 Vermont Comprehensive Assessment Program (VTCAP) show Missisquoi Valley School District students performing competitively against state averages and outpacing several neighboring districts.
In English Language Arts, MVSD's average proficiency rate of 53.61% came within just one percentage point of the statewide average of 54.62% — and outperformed Maple Run, Franklin NESU, and Milton School District.
In Mathematics, MVSD averaged 36.72%, slightly below the state average of 38.79%, but still above Franklin NESU, Milton SD, and Maple Run. In Science, MVSD's 36.59% average placed the district in the middle of the regional group, well above Maple Run and Franklin NESU, though below Franklin WSU.
The district's annual spring testing window runs March 9 through April 24, covering the VTCAP for general education students in grades 3–9 and the Multi-State Alternate Assessment (MSAA) for students with significant cognitive disabilities.
District curriculum leaders say the results are already shaping professional development and resource allocation, with a continued focus on strengthening math and science instruction through coaching support.
