Summary

Dothan Brook School is an elementary school located in White River Junction, Vermont, serving 248 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Hartford School District, which is ranked 33 out of 75 districts in the state, Dothan Brook School has consistently performed well, ranking among the top 30 elementary schools in Vermont for several years.

One of Dothan Brook School's key strengths is its exceptional performance in serving special education students, ranking 1st out of 17 Vermont elementary schools in the 2018-2019 school year and receiving a 5-star rating. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.4 to 10.9 students per teacher, which is lower than nearby schools like Ottauquechee School and White River School. However, the school has experienced fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, an area that may require attention.

While Dothan Brook School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than nearby schools in the Hartford School District, it lags behind the top-performing schools in the state, such as Barnard Academy and Woodstock Elementary School, which are part of the Mountain Views Unified Union School District. The school's spending per student, at $15,854 in 2018-2019, is higher than the nearby schools in the Hartford School District, which may contribute to its relatively strong performance.
