Summary:
The Vernon School District in Vermont has only one school, Vernon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 170 students. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Vermont elementary schools, its performance on state assessments is mixed, with 55.17% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 55.07%, but only 27.59% proficient or better in Mathematics, below the state average of 35.59%. The school's science proficiency rate for 5th graders, at 34.48%, is also below the state average of 44.2%.
Vernon Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 48.82%, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is a potential area of concern. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $14,790, above the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 8.8, relatively low compared to state averages.
The data suggests that Vernon Elementary School is struggling to help its students achieve proficiency in Mathematics and Science, and the school district may want to examine instructional practices, curriculum, or professional development for teachers to address this issue. Additionally, the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the chronic absenteeism rate could be contributing factors to the school's overall academic performance, and the school district may need to develop targeted strategies to support these students and address the root causes of absenteeism.
