Summary:

Johnson Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Johnson, Vermont, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 217 students. The school is part of the Lamoille North Modified Union School District, which is ranked 44 out of 51 districts in Vermont and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Johnson Elementary School faces several challenges, including below-average academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics lower than the state averages for both 3rd and 6th grades. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Vermont elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (91.71%) compared to the state average, and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with nearly 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When compared to other nearby schools in the same district, Johnson Elementary School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates and lower rankings. However, some nearby schools, such as Waterville Elementary and Eden Central School, also struggle with academic performance. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and per-student spending may indicate that the school is not adequately resourced to address the needs of its student population, which could be an area for further investigation and potential improvement.

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.
