Elementary Schools in Wolcott School District

The Wolcott School District in Vermont has only one elementary school, Wolcott Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 121 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been declining in recent years, with proficiency rates in core subjects falling below the statewide averages in Vermont.

Wolcott Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 67th out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 66th out of 133 in 2021-2022, and 89th out of 148 in 2020-2021. The school's overall rating by SchoolDigger is 2 out of 5 stars, indicating below-average performance compared to other Vermont elementary schools. In the 2022-2023 school year, Wolcott Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were all lower than the statewide averages.

The school's demographics also raise some concerns, as it has a highly homogeneous student population, with 95.04% of students identifying as white. This lack of diversity may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience. Additionally, Wolcott Elementary's per-student spending of $9,628 is relatively low compared to the statewide average, which may contribute to the school's academic underperformance. While the school's student-teacher ratio is slightly lower than the statewide average, it appears that the Wolcott School District may need to address these challenges to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable and high-quality education for all its students.
