Summary:
The city of Arlington, Vermont is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 high school, serving students from the surrounding Arlington School District and Taconic and Green Regional School District #63.
Among the standout schools in Arlington, Sunderland Elementary School ranks the highest, outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Science proficiency for 5th grade students. It also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9, better than 3 other elementary schools in the same district. The Arlington Memorial high school also stands out, ranking 24th out of 46 Vermont high schools and outperforming the state average in English Language Arts proficiency for 6th grade students.
In contrast, the Fisher School underperforms the state average in most grade-level proficiency tests, particularly in Mathematics, despite having the highest spending per student at $16,226. This suggests that higher spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. Additionally, the schools vary in their student diversity, with Fisher School being the most diverse and Arlington Memorial and Sunderland Elementary School having a more homogeneous student population, which may be a factor in their observed performance differences.
