Best Public Schools in Castleton, VT


Summary:

The city of Castleton, Vermont has only one public elementary school, Castleton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 251 students. The school's student population is predominantly white at 94.02%, with the next largest racial groups being Hispanic (2.39%) and students of two or more races (2.79%). Castleton Elementary has been ranked in the bottom half of Vermont elementary schools, ranking 92nd out of 113 schools in 2022-2023 and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One notable area of concern is the school's low proficiency rate in Mathematics, with only 13.33% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better, well below the state average of 37.19%. Additionally, the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with 50% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, but only 26.47% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 44.45%. The high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 33.47% of the student population, suggests that Castleton Elementary serves a student population with significant economic challenges.

Overall, Slate Valley Unified Union School District #62, which oversees Castleton Elementary, faces the challenge of improving the school's academic performance, particularly in Mathematics, and addressing the racial homogeneity and economic disparities within the student population. Addressing these areas could help Castleton Elementary better serve the educational needs of the Castleton community.
