Public Grades PK, KG-5

Summary

Shoreham Elementary School is a small public elementary school in Shoreham, Vermont, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 75 students. The school is part of the Addison Central Unified Union School District #55. In recent years, Shoreham Elementary has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom half of Vermont elementary schools and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year.

Shoreham Elementary consistently underperforms the state average on standardized tests across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 36.36% of 4th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 54%. In math, the 4th grade proficiency rate was just 9.09%, well below the state's 30%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 23.68% to 42.67% over the past few years, which is higher than some nearby schools like Weybridge Elementary (16.67%) and Bingham Memorial School (28.57%).

Despite its small size and low student-teacher ratio, which ranges from 7.6 to 10.9 over the past few years, Shoreham Elementary's academic performance has been declining. In contrast, nearby schools like Middlebury ID #4 and Orwell Village School consistently perform well above the state average, ranking in the top quartile of Vermont elementary schools. Addressing Shoreham Elementary's socioeconomic factors and implementing targeted interventions and personalized learning strategies could be key to improving student outcomes and the school's overall performance.
