Vienna School District 55

Vienna School District 55 has one listed school, Vienna Elementary School District 55, serving pre-K through grade 8 in Vienna, with 386 students. Because there is only one listed school, there is no school-to-school comparison. In 2025–2026, the school’s all-grades ELA result was above the state, but its all-grades math result was notably lower; the clearest concern for families is the math gap.

ELA is the school’s strongest subject overall: 62% of students met the measure, compared with 56% statewide, a 6-point advantage. Results varied by grade: grade 8 ELA was 83%, 20 points above the state, while grade 7 was 49%, 9 points below. Math was 30%, compared with 40% statewide, a 10-point shortfall; grade 4 math was especially low at 23% versus 42% statewide, while grade 3 was stronger at 60% versus 49%. Science was below the state in both reported grades: grade 5 was 40% versus 48%, and grade 8 was 44% versus 52%. Chronic absenteeism, by contrast, was lower than the state rate: 14% versus 24%.

Recent trends show the ELA advantage narrowing: the school’s all-grades result fell from 68% in 2024–2025 to 62% in 2025–2026, while the state rose from 53% to 56%; the school’s lead shrank by 9 points. Math was nearly flat, rising from 29% to 30%, while its shortfall versus the state widened by 1 point. Grade 8 science improved by 13 points, but grade 5 declined by 2 points, so improvement was not consistent across grades. SchoolDigger rated the school 2 stars and at the 48th percentile in 2025–2026, down from 3 stars and the 55th percentile the year before. Other context includes a 13.9 student-teacher ratio and 58% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; these are observations, not explanations for achievement.
