Summary:
The city of Burlington, Vermont is home to 6 elementary schools that are part of the Burlington School District, which is ranked 28 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The data reveals significant variations in the performance and characteristics of these schools, with some standouts and areas of concern.
The Champlain School and C.P. Smith School consistently rank among the top elementary schools in Vermont, with 5-star and 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger, respectively. These schools demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in core subjects. In contrast, schools like Sustainability Academy at Lawrence Barnes and Integrated Arts Academy at H.O. Wheeler have lower rankings and performance metrics.
The data also reveals insights into other key factors, such as chronic absenteeism and student-teacher ratios. Schools with lower student-teacher ratios, like J.J. Flynn School and Integrated Arts Academy at H.O. Wheeler, tend to have better performance on standardized tests. However, several schools, particularly Integrated Arts Academy at H.O. Wheeler and Sustainability Academy at Lawrence Barnes, have high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Understanding these variations can help the district and individual schools identify areas for improvement and implement targeted strategies to support student success.
