Summary:
The city of Sutton, Vermont is home to a single elementary school, the Sutton Village School, which serves students from the Kingdom East Unified Union School District #64. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 22nd out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 91st out of 137 in 2024-2025, its academic achievement in core subjects has been mixed.
Sutton Village School's proficiency rates on standardized tests have been below the statewide averages in Mathematics, with only 14.29% of 3rd graders and 33.33% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in 2024-2025, compared to the state averages of 34.25% and 35.59%, respectively. The school's performance in English Language Arts has been more competitive, with 4th grade proficiency at 38.46% and 5th grade at 58.33%, compared to the state averages of 61% and 55.07%. However, the school's 5th and 8th grade science proficiency rates have been mixed, with 50% proficiency in 5th grade (compared to 44.2% statewide) and 23.08% in 8th grade (compared to 40.41% statewide).
Despite these academic challenges, Sutton Village School serves a population with significant economic needs, with 54.72% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2024-2025. The school's small size, with only 106 students and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1, may provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support, but it also raises questions about the school's ability to offer a wide range of educational programs and extracurricular activities. Overall, the data suggests that Sutton Village School faces some performance and resource challenges, but its small size and low student-teacher ratio may also present unique opportunities for improvement.
