Sunderland Elementary School generally performs better than the state average in English Language Arts and Science for 5th grade, with 53.85% proficient or better in both subjects, compared to the state averages of 50.2% and 44.45%, respectively. However, the school's math performance for 5th grade (38.46% proficient or better) is on par with the state average of 38.11%. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.7 to 10.9 over the past three years, which is lower than the nearby schools. Sunderland Elementary School also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (32.35%) compared to the state average, indicating a higher proportion of students from lower-income families.

When compared to nearby schools, Sunderland Elementary School's performance is mixed. While it outperforms the state average in some areas, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Flood Brook School, which ranked 4th out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in 2022-2023. Additionally, Sunderland Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.59%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school's spending per student ($12,947 in 2018-2019) is also lower than some nearby schools, which may contribute to the differences in performance. Finally, the school's enrollment has decreased from 98 students in 2021-2022 to 68 students in 2022-2023, which could pose challenges in maintaining resources and staffing levels.
