Summary:
The 05048 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Hartland Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 281 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with small percentages of other racial groups represented.
Hartland Elementary's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the state average on standardized tests, while others fall significantly below. For example, 6th and 7th grade students perform better than the state average in English Language Arts, but 3rd and 5th graders struggle in both ELA and Math. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, declining from a 3-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 1-star rating in 2021-2022, before improving to a 2-star rating in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school's performance may have been declining relative to other Vermont elementary schools.
With a free and reduced lunch rate of 31.32%, Hartland Elementary serves a significant population of students from lower-income households, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance. The school's spending per student is $12,445, and it maintains a student-teacher ratio of 12.2 to 1. While the school has some areas of strength, such as 8th grade Science performance, there appear to be opportunities for improvement in curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation to better support student learning and achievement across all grade levels and subjects.
