Best Public Schools in Sutton, VT

Summary:

The city of Sutton, Vermont has only one school, the Sutton Village School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 106 students. The school is part of the Kingdom East Unified Union School District #64, which is ranked 56 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Sutton Village School's statewide ranking and rating have fluctuated in recent years, declining from a 4-star rating and 22nd ranking out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in 2022-2023 to a 2-star rating and 91st ranking out of 137 schools in 2024-2025. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with relatively strong results in 5th-grade English Language Arts and science, but significantly lower proficiency rates in mathematics across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.3%, which is a concern and may impact student learning and academic outcomes.

Despite these challenges, the Sutton Village School has some positive attributes, including a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1 and higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,586. However, the school serves a population with a high level of economic disadvantage, with over 54% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the underlying causes of the school's declining performance, high chronic absenteeism, and supporting its economically disadvantaged student population should be priorities for the school and district.
