Summary:
The 05089 zip code area is home to a single alternative public school, the Windsor School, which serves grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 572 students. While the school's 4-year graduation rate is 82.0%, its academic performance on the VTCAP assessments is generally lower than the statewide averages, particularly in mathematics. Nearly half of the student population is eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the school may serve a community with significant socioeconomic challenges.
The Windsor School's proficiency rates on the VTCAP exams range from 13.33% in 3rd grade English Language Arts to 50.88% in 9th grade English Language Arts, compared to the Vermont averages of 55.07% and 55.64%, respectively. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are even lower, ranging from 16.07% in 9th grade to 27.78% in 7th grade, compared to the state averages of 35.59% and 43.74%. The school's 11th-grade science proficiency rate of 36.36% is also below the Vermont average of 44.46%.
As an alternative school, the Windsor School may cater to a unique student population with specific educational needs or circumstances, which could contribute to the lower academic performance observed. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.8 suggests a relatively small class size, which could be an asset in addressing the academic challenges. However, targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student learning and achievement, particularly in the area of mathematics.
