Summary

Jay/Westfield Joint Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 81 students in grades PK-6 in the rural town of Jay, Vermont. The school is part of the Jay/Westfield Joint Elementary School District, which is ranked 14 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jay/Westfield Joint Elementary School has consistently performed well on state assessments, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts (84.62%) and Mathematics (38.46%) that significantly outpace the statewide averages. The school has a history of high statewide rankings, reaching as high as 5th out of 167 Vermont elementary schools in the 2013-2014 school year, and has maintained a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years. One of the school's key strengths is its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.4 to 14.8 over the past few years, which is significantly lower than nearby schools like Montgomery Elementary School.

While Jay/Westfield Joint Elementary School's performance has generally been strong, its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated over the years, dropping to a 2-star rating in the 2022-2023 school year before rebounding to a 4-star rating in the 2024-2025 school year. The school has also experienced relatively high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 12.6% to 40.7% in recent years, which may be an area of concern. Overall, Jay/Westfield Joint Elementary School appears to be a high-performing school with several key strengths, but it also faces some challenges that may require attention and targeted interventions to maintain its strong academic standing.
