Story Behind the Curve
Grand Isle County residents have educational attainment levels similar to the state as a whole. Compared to the state, Franklin County has a lower percentage of residents with a graduate/professional or bachelor’s degree.
Educational attainment varies significantly by race and ethnicity. Accurate regionally specific data is not available, but statewide data shows a disparity in educational outcomes. Native Americans fall well below that of any other measured group, with only 5.2% having a bachelor’s degree. Asian Vermonters have the highest levels of bachelor’s degrees but also the highest percentage of people who did not finish high school. (ACS 2018-2022)
