Best Public Schools in Island Pond, VT


Summary:

The city of Island Pond, Vermont is home to a single school, Brighton Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This small, predominantly white school faces significant challenges, with consistently low state-wide rankings, below-average academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Brighton Elementary School's student body is overwhelmingly white, with 99.26% of students identifying as such. This lack of diversity may impact the school's cultural and educational environment. Academically, the school has struggled, ranking in the bottom quarter of Vermont elementary schools in recent years and performing significantly below the state average on standardized tests in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Despite these academic shortcomings, the school's spending per student is above the state average, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources.

The high poverty rate at Brighton Elementary School, with 62.22% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population. This may present unique challenges and resource needs that the school is struggling to address, contributing to its consistently poor performance compared to its peers across the Brighton School District.
