Elementary Schools in Rutland Town School District

The Rutland Town School District in Vermont is home to one standout elementary school, Rutland Town Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 360 students. This school consistently performs above the state average on standardized tests, particularly in the critical early grades, and ranks in the top third of Vermont elementary schools.

Rutland Town Elementary School's strengths include its high 3rd grade test scores in English Language Arts (59.09% proficient or better vs. 48.91% state average) and Mathematics (50% proficient or better vs. 37.19% state average), as well as its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1. However, the school's performance appears to decline in the upper grades, with 6th grade ELA scores (48.78% proficient or better) and 8th grade Math scores (46.15% proficient or better) falling below the state averages. Additionally, the school's student population is overwhelmingly White (93.89%), which may be a concern in terms of diversity and inclusion.

Despite these challenges, Rutland Town Elementary School has maintained a consistent ranking within the top third of Vermont elementary schools over the past few years, suggesting a stable level of performance. The school's relatively low spending per student of $11,948 (for the 2018-2019 school year) also indicates efficient use of resources, though there may be opportunities for increased investment to further improve student outcomes.
