Charleston School District

The Charleston School District in Vermont consists of a single school, Charleston Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 117 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 97.44% of students identifying as white and a small percentage (2.56%) identifying as two or more races.

Academically, Charleston Elementary School's performance is mixed. In English Language Arts (ELA), 4th-grade students perform slightly better than the state average, with 57.14% proficient or better, while 6th-grade students lag behind at 33.33% proficient or better. In mathematics, 4th-grade students outperform the state average at 42.86% proficient or better, but 6th-grade students fall short at 40% proficient or better. The school's ranking has declined over the past three years, from 117 out of 133 schools in 2021-2022 to 138 out of 148 schools in 2020-2021, and it currently ranks 72 out of 113 Vermont elementary schools with a 2-star rating.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, which could contribute to more personalized attention and support for students. However, the high percentage of students (56.41%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact student achievement. Further analysis and comparison to district or state-level data could provide additional insights to help the school and district address these issues and improve educational outcomes for their students.
