Best Public Schools in Manchester Center, VT

Summary:

The city of Manchester Center, Vermont has only one school, the Manchester Elementary/Middle School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 392 students. The school's student population is predominantly white (82.14%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (9.18%) and African American (3.06%) students, making it more diverse than the state average.

Academically, the school has seen a decline in performance over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 44th out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 107th out of 148 in 2020-2021. Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars out of 5 to 1 star out of 5 during this time. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are close to or above the state average in some grades, there is room for improvement, particularly in grade 7 ELA.

Despite the school's declining performance, it appears to have adequate resources, with a per-student spending of $12,126 and a student-to-teacher ratio of 9.5, which is better than 2 other elementary schools in the same Taconic and Green Regional School District #63. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (41.33%) suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact academic performance and require targeted interventions to support student success.
