Summary:
The city of Wilmington, Vermont is home to a single standout elementary school, Twin Valley Elementary School, which serves students in grades PK-5. This school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, with a high ranking of 18th out of 133 schools in the 2021-2022 school year.
Twin Valley Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the VTCAP assessments, exceeds the statewide averages in several grade levels and subject areas, including 3rd grade English Language Arts, 5th grade English Language Arts, and 4th grade Mathematics. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.6 may contribute to its strong academic outcomes. However, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white (95.03%), which is not representative of the racial diversity found in many other parts of the country, likely reflecting the demographics of the Wilmington area.
With 43.09% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Twin Valley Unified School District #75 serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which can present unique challenges but also opportunities for targeted support and intervention. The school's per-student spending of $13,992 is relatively high compared to national averages, which may contribute to its academic success and ability to provide resources for students. While the school has maintained a strong ranking overall, its position has fluctuated from 18th to 50th in the state over the past 3 years, potentially due to changes in the school's performance, the performance of other schools, or the methodology used for the state rankings.
