Best Public Schools in Tunbridge, VT

Summary:

The city of Tunbridge, Vermont has only one public elementary school, First Branch Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 157 students. The school is part of the First Branch Unified School District #82, which is ranked 29 out of 72 districts in Vermont and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

First Branch Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Vermont elementary schools over the past three school years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in VTCAP English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the statewide averages, indicating that students are underperforming in these core academic areas. Additionally, over 42% of students at the school are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's low performance, its spending per student of $16,569 is relatively high compared to the state average. However, this high spending does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1 could be a positive factor, but other factors, such as instructional quality and curriculum, may need to be examined to address the root causes of the school's challenges and support the academic success of its students.
