Original Research by School Decision on V I T Jr High School
V.I.T. Jr High School serves grades six through eight in Table Grove, a very small rural village in western Fulton County. The school is part of a consolidated district that merged Vermont, Ipava, and Table Grove; it sits on a highway campus just outside the village rather than within a downtown setting.
The school's enrollment is small, with about eighty students across the three grade levels. The student population is predominantly white, with small counts of Hispanic and multiracial students and one Black student; data on free-or-reduced-price lunch qualification and special populations such as English learners and students with IEPs were not available. All available state testing results show full participation.
In English language arts, the school shows uneven performance by grade. Sixth graders scored near the midpoint of county performance. Seventh graders achieved a solid majority proficiency, while eighth graders reached nearly two-thirds proficiency, which are the school's strongest results in any subject. Math presents a different picture: sixth-grade proficiency was very low, seventh-grade proficiency was modest, and eighth-grade proficiency dropped to very low levels again. Science data are limited; eighth-grade science proficiency was at just under half.
Across all tested subjects and grades, the school's overall proficiency index places it above the midpoint among Fulton County's six districts, a modest position that reflects the strength in eighth-grade English offset by weak math results. State testing data for grades three through five were not available; this school serves only grades six through eight, so earlier grades are not tested here.
No graduation rate is applicable because the school does not serve high school. Chronic absenteeism data and other school-environment metrics were not provided. The school's website and current strategic priorities in the district were not located in available sources, so parent questions about specific offerings, extracurriculars, or recent programmatic shifts may be best directed to the school or district directly.
The Table Grove context is important. The village itself is experiencing gradual population decline and is truly tiny, with minimal commercial activity and a school-district campus that functions as a significant local employer. Nearby Macomb and Havana offer larger services and commerce. Families in the district are choosing a rural, consolidated school environment where the junior high and high school are combined at one campus location. A parent considering this school would be looking at a small-school experience in a declining rural area with academic performance that is mixed, particularly in mathematics.
