Bingham Memorial School

Q: Is Bingham Memorial School a good school?

Bingham Memorial School ranks 53 rd of 113 Vermont elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Bingham Memorial School is an elementary school located in Cornwall, Vermont, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 93 students. This high-performing school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, with strong academic achievement, particularly in science and mathematics.

Bingham Memorial School stands out for its low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 12.5 students per teacher over the past three years, which is lower than nearby schools in the Addison Central Unified Union School District #55. Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the surrounding area, suggesting its student population may be more economically advantaged.

While Bingham Memorial School's student population is predominantly white, this reflects the demographic makeup of the local community. In contrast, the larger Middlebury ID #4 School serves a more diverse student population. Overall, Bingham Memorial School's consistent high performance, low student-teacher ratio, and relatively low free and reduced lunch rates set it apart from many of the surrounding Addison Central Unified Union School District #55 schools, such as Ripton Elementary School and Salisbury Community School, which also demonstrate strong academic performance and low student-teacher ratios.

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.
