Summary

Maple Street School is a pre-K–5 elementary school in Vernon, CT, serving 256 students as part of the Vernon School District. The school serves a notably high percentage of economically disadvantaged families, with 76.17% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch — the highest rate among all nearby elementary schools, including Northeast School (63.22%) and Skinner Road School (52.65%). Maple Street also stands out for its low student–teacher ratio of 9.4, the lowest in the area, and per-pupil spending of $17,862, among the highest in the region.

Academically, Maple Street is a school in transition. Proficiency rates in 2025–2026 trailed the district average in most subjects, including 3rd grade math (40.0% vs. 53.2% district) and 4th grade ELA (45.1% vs. 52.0% district). However, 5th graders were a bright spot, exceeding state averages in ELA (56.8% vs. 53.5%) and math (52.6% vs. 45.8%). The school's statewide ranking has climbed steadily from the bottom quartile a decade ago to the 43rd percentile in 2025–2026, though it remains the lowest-ranked of the four Vernon elementary schools with comparable data.

The most striking improvement at Maple Street has been in attendance. Chronic absenteeism plummeted from 24.8% in 2022–2023 to 5.4% in 2025–2026 — now well below both the district rate of 11.1% and the state rate of 16.4%, despite the school's high poverty level. This suggests meaningful gains in school climate and family engagement. The school's upward trajectory, strong 5th grade results, and small class sizes offer a solid foundation. However, peer comparison suggests room to grow — Northeast School, serving a similarly high-poverty population, posts significantly higher proficiency rates, indicating that Maple Street can learn from in-district practices as it works to translate its attendance and resource advantages into consistent academic gains.
