Southwest Vermont Union Elementary School District #87


Summary:

The Southwest Vermont Union Elementary School District #87 consists of 6 elementary schools serving students in the region. While the district as a whole faces academic challenges, with most schools underperforming the state average, Shaftsbury Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 87 out of 133 Vermont elementary schools and outperforming the state in several academic areas.

The district's schools have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.42% at Monument Elementary School to 89.3% at Bennington Elementary School. This suggests a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may be contributing to the overall low academic performance observed across the district.

The smallest school in the district, Woodford Hollow School, has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 8.2, significantly lower than the other schools. This smaller class size could potentially provide more individualized attention and support for students. However, Woodford Hollow School also has the highest percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 85.71%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population.
