Summary:
The city of Barton, Vermont has only one school in the data set - the Barton Graded School, an elementary school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 136 students. The school is part of the Lake Region Union Elementary Middle School District.
Barton Graded School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Vermont elementary schools over the past three school years, with a 0-star rating in 2023-2024 and a 1-star rating in the other two years. The school's proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages for grades 4, 6, and 8, indicating that the students are not achieving the same level of academic success as their peers across Vermont. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 9:1, these factors alone do not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement based on the available data. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resources, and support systems may be necessary to understand the root causes of these issues and identify potential areas for improvement.
