I'm looking for a good high school with good sports programs, namely basketball, in or near Essex Junction. Thanks ahead of time for your feedback.

We live in Rutland, so I don't know first hand... but i believe Essex HS has one of the best athletic programs in the state. you can go to greatschools.net and schooldigger.com for stats, test scores, enrollment info and more details. I have 3 boys and this site has been helpful on searching out the most dominant sports programs...try maxpreps.com
they rank essex 8 in the state for basketball, 5th for football, 5th for lax and for 2nd baseball. the other schools in your area with competitive programs are rice and south burlington, but i think essex has the reputation of the best out of the three. good luck!

Essex Junction has ONE high school; luckily for you it is a good one. It also has a very good Technical skills learning center. Athletics, last I knew, were also very important and well-funded, but I'll let someone else chime in on that who has kids still in the school system.

Their for basketball program both girls and boys are very good as are their feeder programs.

HAHA! i agree with the post above, there is ONE SINGLE High school in Essex. Not much to chose from if you don't want to pay to go to RICE.
