Summary

Ottauquechee School is an elementary school located in Quechee, Vermont, serving grades PK-5 with 180 students. It is part of the Hartford School District, which is ranked 33 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Over the past 10 years, Ottauquechee School has consistently ranked in the top third of Vermont elementary schools, with a high ranking of 13 out of 113 schools in 2022-2023.

Ottauquechee School has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science. In 2024-2025, the school's 5th grade students scored 52.17% proficient or better in ELA and 52.17% in Science, both exceeding the state averages. The school's 3rd and 4th grade ELA scores also outperformed the state in recent years. Additionally, Ottauquechee School has maintained a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.5 to 10.4 students per teacher over the past few years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment for students.

While Ottauquechee School generally outperforms the other schools in the Hartford School District, such as White River School and Dothan Brook School, it lags behind some higher-performing schools in the region, such as Newton School and Marion W. Cross School, which are in the top 5% of Vermont elementary schools. Additionally, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 3.0% in 2018-2019 to 15.7% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern that the school may need to address.
