Summary:

Neshobe School is an elementary school located in Brandon, Vermont, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of around 440. It is part of the Otter Valley Unified Union School District #53, which is ranked 33 out of 51 districts in Vermont and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Neshobe School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.27%) compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in VTCAP/Smarter Balanced assessments, is consistently below the state averages across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2022-2023, Neshobe's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 35.71% compared to the state's 48.91%. Neshobe School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 86th out of 113 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 145th out of 148 in 2020-2021, and its star rating from SchoolDigger has also varied, from 2 stars in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 to 1 star in 2022-2023. Additionally, Neshobe School's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, and white students, is also below the state averages, with rankings in the bottom half of Vermont elementary schools.

Interestingly, Neshobe School's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the same district, such as Lothrop School, as well as schools in other districts, like Shoreham Elementary, Rochester School, and Bingham Memorial School. These nearby schools tend to have higher academic proficiency rates, better statewide rankings, and lower free and reduced lunch rates. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Neshobe School, ranging from 34.32% to 44.78% over the past three school years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a role in the school's academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
