Summary

Lothrop School is an elementary school located in Pittsford, Vermont, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 192 students. It is part of the Otter Valley Unified Union School District #53, which is ranked 47 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lothrop School has shown fluctuating performance on state assessments, with some grades and subjects performing better than the state average, while others lag behind. In the 2024-2025 school year, Lothrop School's 5th-grade students outperformed the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, in the 2023-2024 school year, Lothrop School's 4th and 5th-grade students performed below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8.8% in 2019-2020 to 86.4% in 2023-2024, which is a concerning trend that may impact student learning and academic achievement.

Compared to nearby schools, Lothrop School's performance is mixed. While it outperforms some schools, such as Neshobe School and Clarendon Elementary School, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Killington Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Vermont and outperforms Lothrop School across multiple academic measures. Additionally, Lothrop School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.56% to 43.24% in recent years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which can be a factor in academic performance.
