Summary:
The 05851 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Lyndon Town School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 501 students. The school is part of the Kingdom East Unified Union School District #64, which is ranked 36 out of 51 districts in Vermont and has a 2-star rating.
Lyndon Town School has a predominantly white student population, with 94.81% of students identifying as white. However, the school's test scores on the VTCAP (Vermont Comprehensive Assessment Program) are generally below the state-wide averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 3rd grade, the school's proficiency rate in ELA was 37.5% compared to the state average of 48.91%, and in 6th grade Math, the school's proficiency rate was 52.94% compared to the state average of 52.7%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 44.91%, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families attending the school.
Despite these challenges, Lyndon Town School has some potential strengths, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 and above-average spending per student at $12,015. These factors may indicate smaller class sizes and more resources available to support student learning. However, the school's underperformance on standardized tests suggests that it may need to focus on improving academic performance and ensuring that students are meeting grade-level expectations, potentially through targeted interventions and a focus on curriculum, instructional strategies, and teacher professional development.
