Summary:
The 05077 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, First Branch Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with 157 students. The school is part of the First Branch Unified School District #82, which is ranked 29 out of 72 districts in Vermont and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
First Branch Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades. For example, in 4th grade ELA, the school's proficiency rate is 42.86% compared to the state average of 54%. Additionally, 42.68% of students at the school receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($16,569) and lower student-teacher ratio (11.3), these resources do not appear to be translating into higher academic performance.
The analysis suggests that First Branch Elementary School faces challenges in terms of academic performance and may benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to address the root causes of the underperformance. Improving instructional practices, curriculum, and support for students could help the school better serve its population and improve student outcomes.
