Mount Mansfield Union High School (MMU) is a high school located near the center of Jericho, Vermont.[1] It is accredited by the New England Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges and by the Vermont Department of Education.
Mount Mansfield Union High School is part of the Chittenden East SU school district, and serves students from Jericho, Underhill, Richmond, Huntington, Bolton, Jonesville, and Westford.
U.S. News ranked MMU as the best high school in Chittenden County, both public and private.[3] In April 2017 it was ranked as the third best high school in Vermont and at number 893 in the nation.[2] MMU has also been cited by BusinessWeek as being the "best high school in Vermont" and "among the best in New England", based on academic performance and standardized test scores.[4]
Curriculum
Language is not required for graduation from MMU, but since most students go to college or some other form of higher education, it is common to take at least two years of a foreign language. MMU offers Spanish, Latin, and French. Although only these are offered on campus, students may obtain credits through online courses or other local campuses, including that of the University of Vermont. Students also have the option of attending Essex Technical Center or Burlington Technical Center.
Math levels at MMU are slightly different from usual. The levels after basic math are Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Pre-Calculus, whereas most schools have Algebra 2 before Geometry. The school has chosen to do this because of the use of geometry on the standardized tests that MMU juniors take.
The school uses a 4.33 GPA scale.
