Best Public Schools in Zip Code 05872

Summary:

The 05872 zip code area has only one school, Charleston Elementary School, a public school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 117 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (97.44%), and it has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 56.41% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Charleston Elementary School's academic performance has been mixed, with 4th-grade students performing slightly better than the state average in English Language Arts but significantly lower in Mathematics. The 6th-grade students, on the other hand, performed below the state average in both subjects. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average, and it has a lower student-teacher ratio, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 138th out of 148 Vermont elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 72nd out of 113 in 2022-2023.

Overall, Charleston Elementary School, the sole school in the 05872 zip code area, faces both strengths and challenges. While the school's investment in smaller class sizes and higher spending per student may be beneficial, its academic performance and declining statewide ranking indicate the need for further examination of the school's strategies and resources to support student success. Parents in the area may want to closely monitor the school's progress and explore additional educational options to ensure their children receive the best possible education.
