Best Public Schools in Barton, VT

Summary:

The city of Barton, Vermont has only one public school, the Barton Graded School, which serves students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Lake Region Union Elementary Middle School District, which is ranked 37 out of 72 districts in the state. However, the Barton Graded School itself has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Vermont elementary schools, with a statewide ranking of 132 out of 133 schools for the 2023-2024 school year and a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Barton Graded School's academic performance is a significant concern, with test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling well below the statewide averages for Vermont. For example, in 7th grade ELA, only 21.05% of Barton Graded School students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 57%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (73.33%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's small size, with only 135 students, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 1, the Barton Graded School's consistently low performance and significant gaps in academic achievement suggest that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes and the overall quality of education provided by the school.
