The school is part of the Taconic and Green Regional School District #63, which is ranked 23rd out of 72 districts in Vermont and rated 4 out of 5 stars. With a student-teacher ratio of 11.5 to 1, the school may face challenges in providing individualized attention and support to its 184 students.

While Dorset Elementary School's overall performance appears to be relatively strong within the state of Vermont, the data highlights areas for potential improvement, such as in mathematics instruction and maintaining consistent statewide rankings.
