Summary

Monkton Central School is an exceptional elementary school located in Monkton, Vermont, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 160 students. As part of the Mt. Abraham Unified School District #61, which is ranked 21 out of 75 districts in Vermont, Monkton Central School consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state.

The school's academic performance is truly impressive, with students consistently outperforming their peers across Vermont. In the 2024-2025 school year, 80% of Monkton Central School's 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 55.07%. In mathematics, the school's 5th-grade students had a 40% proficiency rate, exceeding the state average of 35.59%. Monkton Central School's students also excelled in science, with a 65% proficiency rate compared to the state's 44.2%. This exceptional academic performance is further reflected in the school's rankings, which have ranged from 9th to 32nd out of over 100 elementary schools in Vermont in recent years.

Monkton Central School's success can be attributed to several factors, including its relatively low student-teacher ratio, which ranges from 11.3 to 15.2, and its lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 20.8% to 30.53% in recent years. While some nearby schools, such as Bristol Elementary and Robinson School, have higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Monkton Central School's student population appears to come from relatively higher-income families, which may contribute to its exceptional academic performance. However, other high-performing schools in the region, like Shelburne Community School and Charlotte Central School, suggest a strong educational system in the area.
