NECAP RESULTS – Mr. Merryman, the school principal, would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the faculty, staff and students of The Dorset School. We have recently received the results of the assessments taken in October of this school year. Grades 3-8 were tested, and our overall school results were fantastic! In the area of Math our school posted the seventh highest score in the state of VT, putting us in the top 5%. In the area of Reading our school score was sixth highest in the state, putting us in the top 4%. Finally, in the area of Writing our school posted the fifth highest score in the state, which places us in the top 2% of the state. In addition, you may recall our science NECAP score was posted as the top score in the entire state for 8th grade. There were only four other schools out of 287 schools in VT that posted in the top 5% or higher in every area tested. Statistically, that places us in the top 1.7% of the entire state overall. Congratulations to all – we are proud of everyone!
