Summary:

Brownington Central School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Brownington, Vermont, with a student population of 107 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Lake Region Union Elementary Middle School District, which is ranked 37 out of 51 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brownington Central School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.33%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Derby Elementary School and Brighton Elementary School. The school's test score performance has been inconsistent, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average, such as 7th grade English Language Arts (73.33% vs. 57.3%) and 8th grade Science (66.67% vs. 40.56%), while others, like 5th grade Mathematics (33.33% vs. 38.11%) and 4th grade Smarter Balanced English Language Arts (15.38% vs. 43.95%), have underperformed. Additionally, Brownington Central School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.75% to 70.09% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite these challenges, Brownington Central School has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.9 to 13 over the past three school years, which is lower than the ratios of many of the nearby schools. This could be a potential advantage for the school, as it may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 124th out of 148 Vermont elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 56th out of 113 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state.

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.
