Summary

Wallingford Village School is an elementary school located in Wallingford, Vermont, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 122 students. The school is part of the Mill River Unified Union School District #52, which is ranked 59 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wallingford Village School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average in standardized test scores across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 33.33% of 3rd graders and 28.57% of 4th graders were proficient or better in VTCAP English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 61% and 61%, respectively. The school's performance in mathematics is particularly concerning, with only 16.67% of 3rd graders and 28.57% of 4th graders reaching proficiency or better in VTCAP Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 34.25% and 34.25%. Wallingford Village School has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.1% in 2017-2018 to 34.6% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Tinmouth Elementary School, which had a 7.5% chronic absenteeism rate in 2023-2024.

The school's high poverty rate, with 44.26% to 66.39% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years, may contribute to the challenges it faces in academic performance and chronic absenteeism. Compared to nearby schools like Rutland Town Elementary School, which has significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, Wallingford Village School's declining statewide ranking and persistent underperformance suggest the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the root causes of these issues and ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.
