Summary:
The city of Washington, Vermont has only one school, the Washington Village School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. This small elementary school, part of the Echo Valley Community Union School District #67, has made notable progress in recent years, with improved academic outcomes and a higher statewide ranking.
The school's 4th-grade proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics were above the statewide averages, indicating that the school may be making progress in improving student outcomes. However, the 3rd-grade proficiency rates were below the statewide averages, suggesting that the school still faces challenges. With over a third of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which could be a factor in the school's academic performance.
Despite these challenges, the school has seen significant improvements in its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, moving from 101st out of 138 Vermont elementary schools and a 1-star rating in 2018-2019 to 35th out of 113 and a 4-star rating in 2022-2023. The small size of the school, with only 118 students, may allow for more personalized attention and support for students, which could contribute to the school's improved academic performance.
