Best Public Schools in Saint Johnsbury, VT

Summary:

The city of Saint Johnsbury, Vermont is home to a single elementary school, the St. Johnsbury School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 702 students. The school is part of the Saint Johnsbury School District, which is ranked 35 out of 51 districts in Vermont and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, St. Johnsbury School's performance lags behind the statewide averages in Vermont, particularly in Mathematics, where proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state's across all grade levels. The school's racial makeup is predominantly white, with relatively small percentages of other racial and ethnic groups represented. Additionally, over 50% of students at St. Johnsbury School receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families. The school's spending per student is higher than the national average, but it's unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and outcomes.

Concerning trends have also emerged, with St. Johnsbury School's statewide ranking declining over the past three school years, from 77th out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 112th out of 148 in 2020-2021. This downward trend in the school's relative performance compared to other Vermont elementary schools is a cause for concern and warrants further investigation to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies to support the academic success of all students at St. Johnsbury School.
