Summary:

Orwell, Vermont is home to a single elementary school, the Orwell Village School, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Slate Valley Unified Union School District #62. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 22nd out of 133 Vermont elementary schools in 2023-2024 but dropping to 47th out of 137 schools in 2024-2025.

While the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were below the state averages, its 4th-grade students performed significantly better, with 75% proficiency in ELA (compared to 61% statewide) and 56.25% in Math (compared to 34.25% statewide). This suggests the school is effective in helping students improve their academic skills as they progress through the grades. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, which may contribute to more individualized attention for students.

One notable characteristic of the Orwell Village School is the high percentage of students (62.61%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating the school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population. This may have implications for the school's resource allocation and strategies to address the unique needs of its student body.
