Best Public Schools in Zip Code 05060

Summary:

The 05060 zip code area in Vermont is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Randolph Elementary School and Braintree School) and 1 high school (Randolph Union High School), all of which are part of the Orange Southwest Unified Union School District #59.

Among the schools in this area, Braintree School stands out as a top performer, ranking 1st out of 137 Vermont elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Braintree School's exceptional test scores, with 100% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, 81.25% proficient or better in Mathematics, and 75% proficient or better in Science, significantly outpaced the statewide averages. In contrast, Randolph Union High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 12th out of 37 Vermont high schools in 2021-2022 to 31st out of 47 in 2023-2024, and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating room for improvement.

The data also reveals that Randolph Elementary School and Braintree School have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates at 49.48% and 54.55% respectively, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Despite these socioeconomic factors, Braintree School has continued to excel, while Randolph Union High School's performance has declined. The similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the three schools suggest that these factors alone may not be the primary drivers of academic performance, and other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may play a more significant role in shaping student outcomes.
