Summary:

Peoples Academy Middle School is a public middle school located in Morrisville, Vermont, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 224 students. The school's academic performance has been mixed compared to statewide averages, with some grades and subject areas exceeding expectations while others underperforming.

Compared to nearby schools like Crossett Brook Middle School and Stowe Middle School, Peoples Academy Middle School has generally lower academic rankings and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school has seen a decrease in its student-teacher ratio over the past three years, which may provide more individualized attention and support for students.

The school's academic performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with fluctuations in state assessment results across different grades and subject areas. Additionally, there are indications of potential gender-based achievement gaps, with female students generally performing better than male students. As the school's socioeconomic composition shifts, with a decline in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school may need to reevaluate its resource allocation and support services to address the evolving needs of its student body.

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.
