Best Public Schools in West Pawlet, VT

Summary:

The city of West Pawlet, Vermont is home to a single elementary school, Mettawee Community School, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 138 students. Despite being the only school in the area, Mettawee Community School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students outperforming the statewide average in Vermont on key standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Mettawee Community School has seen its statewide ranking among Vermont elementary schools fluctuate in recent years, from 66th out of 148 in 2020-2021 to 97th out of 133 in 2021-2022, before improving to 21st out of 113 in the most recent 2022-2023 school year. The school's current 4-star rating from SchoolDigger also places it above average compared to other Vermont elementary schools. Additionally, Mettawee Community School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 students per teacher, which can be beneficial for providing more individualized attention and support for students.

While Mettawee Community School serves a relatively high-need student population, with 43.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's strong academic performance suggests that it is providing a high-quality education. However, the school's student body is overwhelmingly white, with very low representation of other racial and ethnic groups, which may be a concern and could impact the school's ability to provide a well-rounded, inclusive educational experience. Overall, Mettawee Community School appears to be a strong-performing elementary school, but there are areas for potential improvement, particularly around student diversity and the stability of its academic performance over time.
