Best Public Schools in Jay, VT

Summary:

The city of Jay, Vermont is home to a single public elementary school, the Jay/Westfield Joint Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. With an enrollment of just 80 students, the school has a predominantly white student population and a relatively high per-student spending of $14,491.

Academically, the school's performance is mixed compared to the statewide averages. While 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency is above the state average, 3rd-grade ELA, 3rd-grade math, and 5th-grade math and science proficiency are all below the state averages. This suggests potential areas for improvement in the school's curriculum and instructional practices. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated over the years, from 50th out of 142 elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 65th out of 113 in 2022-2023, indicating a decline in relative performance.

Despite the high per-student spending, the school's academic outcomes suggest that simply having adequate funding does not necessarily translate to strong student performance. Examining how the resources are being utilized and allocated, as well as strategies to address the academic gaps, could help the Jay/Westfield Joint Elementary School District identify opportunities to enhance student outcomes and support the school's continued development.
