Rochester Stockbridge Unified School District #81

Located along 461 Waterman Road in Royalton, Vermont, the Rochester Stockbridge Unified School District #81 is an active, fully operational public school district serving families across a remote rural setting within the broader Lebanon-Claremont region. Operating two primary school campuses as a component of a regional supervisory union, the district delivers a complete educational continuum spanning from pre-kindergarten through the twelfth grade, in addition to providing community-focused adult education programs. Families and researchers alike will find a close-knit learning community built on high academic standards and strong local values, with administrative resources and community updates accessible both locally and through its online portal.

With a compact student body of 140 learners—comprising 65 female and 75 male students heavily centered in the early childhood and elementary grades—the district offers an extraordinarily personalized academic experience. This intimate school environment is anchored by a robust staffing model, featuring 30 full-time equivalent teachers, over seven instructional aides, and more than 27 dedicated support personnel. Bringing the total workforce to nearly 64 full-time equivalent staff members, the district maintains a remarkably low student-to-educator ratio. This strong support system ensures that students receive tailored instruction, comprehensive care, and the individual attention necessary to foster academic and personal success.
