Best Public Schools in Johnson, VT

Summary:

The city of Johnson, Vermont has only one public school, Johnson Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 185 students. The school is part of the Lamoille North Modified Union School District #058A, which is ranked 63 out of 75 districts in the state.

Johnson Elementary School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 78 out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 134 out of 137 in 2024-2025. Its academic performance is also a significant concern, with only 19.05% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 4.76% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school also lags the statewide 5th grade science proficiency rate, with only 24% of its 5th graders scoring proficient or better.

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.6, the school faces challenges related to its high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 72.43%. This suggests a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may require additional resources and targeted interventions to support their academic and social-emotional needs. The school's spending per student of $11,989 is above the national average, but may not be sufficient to address the academic challenges it is facing.
