Summary

Northeast School is a public elementary school in Vernon, CT, serving 261 students in grades PK–5 as part of the Vernon School District. The school ranks in the 63rd percentile statewide (3 stars), well above its district's overall 37th-percentile standing, and spends heavily on its students—$18,845 per pupil, the highest among nearby schools. It serves a predominantly low-income population, with 63.2% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch in 2024–25, yet chronic absenteeism has stayed far below district and state averages, dropping to 4.9% in 2024–25 before ticking up to 9.8% in 2025–26.

In the most recent testing year, Northeast exceeded state proficiency rates in every grade and subject and beat the Vernon School District average everywhere except 3rd-grade ELA. Standout results include 5th-grade ELA at 77.4% proficiency (vs. 63.4% district and 53.5% state) and 5th-grade math at 64.5% (vs. 56.5% district). Among Vernon elementary schools, Northeast posted the strongest upper-grade results, with 4th-grade ELA (66.7%) and 5th-grade math (64.5%) leading the pack. Even compared to higher-income neighboring districts, Northeast's 5th-grade ELA beats Orchard Hill School (70.7%) and Windermere School (68.2%). The school also shows exceptional special education outcomes, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide in 2020–21.

Northeast appears to build momentum from 3rd to 5th grade, with younger grades closer to district averages before pulling clearly ahead by upper elementary. However, test scores can swing sharply year to year due to small class sizes—for example, 4th-grade ELA jumped from 41.7% to 71.4% in two years—so it's wise to look at trends rather than any single year. Attendance remains a bright spot, with chronic absenteeism at 9.8% in 2025–26, still well below the state rate of 16.4% and comparable to Lake Street School's 4.3%. Data gaps, such as missing 5th-grade science scores, mean the full picture isn't always available, but overall Northeast stands out as a strong, well-funded option within its district and region.
