Best Public Schools in Tunbridge, VT

Summary:

The city of Tunbridge, Vermont has only one public elementary school, First Branch Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 149 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, its academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics significantly below the statewide averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 127th out of 148 Vermont elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 101st out of 113 in 2022-2023, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the high per-student spending of $16,569, which is significantly above the national average, First Branch Elementary School's academic outcomes have not improved. The school's student-teacher ratio of 11.1 is lower than the national average, but this does not seem to be translating into better educational outcomes for the students. The school's free/reduced lunch rate of 27.52% suggests that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by the school.

Overall, the analysis of the data for First Branch Elementary School in Tunbridge, Vermont reveals several areas of concern, including below-average academic performance, a declining statewide ranking, and a lack of racial diversity in the student population. The high per-student spending at the school also raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's performance. Parents in the Tunbridge area may want to consider these insights when evaluating educational options for their children.
