Summary:
The 05354 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Vernon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 185 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, its academic performance is mixed, with strengths in 6th grade English Language Arts but struggles in other grade levels and subject areas, particularly 4th grade.
Vernon Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 63rd out of 133 Vermont elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 71st out of 113 schools in the most recent year. This trend is concerning and may indicate that the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other Vermont elementary schools. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high percentage of students (31.89%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's academic performance.
On a positive note, Vernon Elementary School has a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which may contribute to the school's ability to provide more individualized attention to students. The school's above-average per-student spending of $14,790 also suggests a commitment to providing resources and support for student learning. However, the school's inconsistent academic outcomes across grade levels and subject areas indicate that the school may need to examine its curriculum, teaching methods, and support systems to ensure more consistent and strong academic outcomes for all students.
