Summary:
The city of Manchester Center, Vermont has only one public school serving students from elementary through middle school - the Manchester Elementary/Middle School, which is part of the Taconic and Green Regional School District #63. The school has been consistently ranked between 44th and 54th out of 113-137 Vermont elementary schools over the past 3 years, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with 4th grade English Language Arts scores exceeding the state average, but 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts and mathematics scores falling behind. The school does, however, outperform the state average in 5th and 8th grade science. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, the school appears to focus on small class sizes and individualized attention, though its per-student spending of $12,126 is likely higher than the state average.
One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 26.0%, which can significantly impact student learning and academic outcomes. Additionally, the school serves a population with a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 46.97%, indicating significant economic challenges that may require additional resources and targeted support programs to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
