Mt. Holly School

Q: Is Mt. Holly School a good school?

Mt. Holly School ranks 57 th of 113 Vermont elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mt. Holly School is an elementary school located in Mount Holly, Vermont, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 105 students. The school is part of the Ludlow Mt. Holly Unified Union School District #83, which is ranked 23 out of 51 school districts in Vermont and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mt. Holly School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools, ranging from 94-97% over the past three years. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with the school outperforming the state in 4th-grade English Language Arts but underperforming in 4th-grade Mathematics and 5th-grade Science. Additionally, Mt. Holly School has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a relatively higher socioeconomic status of the student population compared to other schools in the area. The school has also maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 13.7 students per teacher over the past three years.

However, the analysis also reveals some concerning trends. Mt. Holly School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 136 out of 148 Vermont elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 57 out of 113 in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance has been inconsistent, with significant fluctuations in proficiency rates across different grade levels and subject areas. When compared to the nearby schools, such as Northeast Primary School and Killington Elementary School, the significant racial and socioeconomic differences may raise equity concerns and highlight the need for a closer examination of resource allocation and support for underserved student populations in the region.

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.
