Summary

Johnson Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Johnson, Vermont, with 185 students enrolled. The school is part of the Lamoille North Modified Union School District, which is ranked 63 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Johnson Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 19.05% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and only 4.76% were proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly below the state averages. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 24% was also well below the state average of 44.2%. Additionally, the school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 78 out of 113 schools in 2022-2023 to 134 out of 137 schools in 2024-2025.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Lamoille North Modified Union School District, such as Waterville Elementary School and Eden Central School, also perform poorly compared to the state average, suggesting that the district as a whole may face systemic challenges. However, Johnson Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 6.6 students per teacher, which suggests that resources may not be the primary issue. The school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, at 72.43% in the 2024-2025 school year, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's underperformance.
