Summary

Vergennes Union Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Vergennes, Vermont, with 280 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.3. The school is part of the Addison Northwest Unified Union School District #54, which is ranked 23 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Vergennes Union Elementary School has shown mixed performance compared to state averages. While the school's 4th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate was higher than the state average, its 3rd-5th grade ELA and math proficiency rates were below state levels. The school also faces significant disparities in performance between different student subgroups, with female students performing much better than male students and low-income students ranking very low compared to their peers across Vermont. Additionally, the school's percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has been increasing, indicating a growing population of students from low-income families.

When compared to nearby schools, Vergennes Union Elementary School generally performs worse academically, especially in mathematics. For example, Hinesburg Community School and Charlotte Central School, which are part of the higher-ranked Champlain Valley Unified Union School District #56, have significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and mathematics across all grade levels. The school's higher-than-average spending per student suggests that factors other than just funding may be contributing to its challenges.
