Summary

Hinesburg Community School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in the town of Hinesburg, Vermont, which is part of the Champlain Valley Unified Union School District. This top-performing school consistently ranks within the top 15 elementary schools in the state, delivering exceptional academic achievement across all grade levels and subject areas.

Hinesburg Community School stands out for its strong academic performance, with significantly higher proficiency rates than the state average in both English Language Arts (ranging from 68.52% to 80% proficient) and Mathematics (ranging from 36.36% to 72.55% proficient) in the 2024-2025 school year. The school also excels in serving specific student subgroups, ranking exceptionally well for female students (6th out of 60 VT elementary schools), male students (5th out of 61 VT elementary schools), and low-income students (3rd out of 45 VT elementary schools) in the same year. Additionally, Hinesburg Community School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 13.6 over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Williston Schools, Shelburne Community School, and Charlotte Central School.

While Hinesburg Community School outperforms the other schools in the Champlain Valley Unified Union School District, the district as a whole is known for providing a strong educational experience, with several other high-performing elementary schools in the area. The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Hinesburg Community School compared to the other district schools may indicate the school faces unique challenges, but its exceptional performance for this subgroup suggests it is effectively addressing these needs.
