Summary:
The 05143 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Chester Andover Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. While the school has some areas of academic strength, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Vermont elementary schools over the past three years, indicating a need for improvement in overall performance.
Chester Andover Elementary School has a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting below-average performance. Student proficiency rates on the VTCAP tests are mixed, with the school performing above the state average in some subject areas and grade levels, but below average in others, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and 6th grade Mathematics. The school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 61.38% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the academic challenges it faces.
Another area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.0%, which may be negatively impacting student learning and achievement. To address these challenges, the school and the Green Mountain Unified School District #77 will need to implement targeted interventions and support, while also considering the socioeconomic factors that may be influencing the school's performance.
