Summary:
The 05345 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Newbrook Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 101 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, it has shown improvements in its academic performance and overall quality in recent years, with a strong focus on science education.
Newbrook Elementary School's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate is slightly below the state average, but its 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate is higher than the state average. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate is significantly higher than the state average, indicating a particular strength in science education. The school's state-wide ranking has also improved, from 105th out of 148 Vermont elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 23rd out of 113 in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has increased from 2 stars to 4 stars out of 5 during the same period.
However, the school faces some challenges, including a relatively high percentage of students (25.74%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic need among the student population. Additionally, the school's student population is highly homogeneous, with over 97% of students identifying as white, which may be an area for the school to consider addressing to provide a more diverse learning environment for its students. Overall, West River Valley Union Education District #72A appears to be making positive strides in improving the quality of education at Newbrook Elementary School, but there are still areas for potential improvement.
