Summary:
Putney, Vermont is home to a single standout elementary school, Putney Central School, which serves grades PK-8 and is part of the Windham Southeast Unified Union School District #96. This school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Vermont, placing 21st out of 137 schools in the 2024-2025 school year and 15th out of 113 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.
Putney Central School's students have demonstrated strong academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts compared to the statewide averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 83.33% of 4th and 6th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 61% and 57.38%, respectively. While the school's mathematics proficiency rates are not as high as their ELA performance, they still exceed the statewide averages in several grade levels, with 66.67% of 6th-grade students being proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state average of 48.11%.
Putney Central School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.6, which is significantly lower than the typical student-teacher ratio in Vermont schools. However, the school serves a population with a range of socioeconomic backgrounds, as 39.58% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the state average. This suggests that the school may need to consider strategies to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities for all students.
