Craftsbury Schools

Summary:

Craftsbury Schools is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the small town of Craftsbury Common, Vermont, with a student population of 207 as of the 2022-2023 school year. This school consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, with 81.25% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 56.41%, and 62.5% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Science, significantly higher than the state average of 44.45%. Craftsbury Schools also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.3 to 10.5 over the past three school years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment compared to the nearby Cabot School, which has a ratio of 8.2.

Interestingly, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Craftsbury Schools has decreased significantly, from 40.19% in the 2020-2021 school year to 13.04% in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting a potential improvement in the socioeconomic status of the student population. Additionally, Craftsbury Schools spends $11,489 per student, which is lower than the $15,053 spent per student at Cabot School, the closest neighboring school. Cabot School also has lower academic performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to Craftsbury Schools, and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a more economically disadvantaged student population.

The racial composition of Craftsbury Schools has remained relatively stable over the past three school years, with over 96% of students identifying as White, in contrast to the state's overall racial diversity. This consistent academic performance, declining free and reduced lunch rates, and favorable comparison to the nearby Cabot School District suggest that Craftsbury Schools is providing a quality education to its students.

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.
