Elementary Schools in Charleston School District

The Charleston School District in Vermont has only one elementary 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 very low racial diversity. While the school's 4th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (57.14%) and Mathematics (42.86%) are slightly above the state averages, its 6th-grade proficiency rates have declined significantly in recent years, dropping from the 138th out of 148 Vermont elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 72nd out of 113 in 2022-2023.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.6 students per teacher and a per-student spending of $14,401, Charleston Elementary School faces challenges related to its student population's economic disadvantage, with 56.41% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This high level of economic disadvantage may contribute to the school's academic struggles and the need for additional resources and support to address the specific needs of its students.

Overall, the analysis of Charleston Elementary School reveals a school that is facing declining academic performance, a lack of racial diversity, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. While the school's funding and resources appear to be adequate, the data suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and interventions to better support the educational outcomes of its students and address the unique challenges faced by the school community.
