St. Albans City Elementary School

Summary:

St. Albans City Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in the Maple Run Unified Union School District in Saint Albans, Vermont, with 684 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.5.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, St. Albans City Elementary School has consistently underperformed on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science significantly lower than the state averages across multiple grade levels. The school has been ranked in the bottom third of Vermont elementary schools for the past several years, placing it in the bottom 10% of schools in the state. However, the school has shown some strengths in specific student subgroups, such as ranking 1st out of 15 Vermont elementary schools for its performance with special education students.

When compared to other schools in the Maple Run Unified Union School District, St. Albans City Elementary School performs significantly worse, with nearby schools like Fairfield Center School outperforming it on all VTCAP assessments. Despite the school's higher per-student spending, this has not translated into better academic outcomes, suggesting that the school's leadership and the district may need to closely examine the factors contributing to these challenges and implement targeted interventions to improve student performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
