Summary:
The 05156 zip code area in Vermont is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Springfield School District. While some schools show signs of improvement, the overall performance of these institutions is concerning, with most schools ranking below average in the state.
Elm Hill School, an elementary school, has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the top half of Vermont elementary schools. However, its current ranking of 72 out of 75 and a 0-star rating suggest there is room for improvement. Springfield High School has shown some progress, moving from a 0-star to a 2-star rating in recent years, and its 82% four-year graduation rate is a positive indicator. In contrast, Riverside Middle School stands out as the lowest-performing in the data set, ranking in the bottom 10 of Vermont middle schools and receiving a 0-star rating.
Across the schools, there are several areas of concern, including high chronic absenteeism rates, below-average test scores, and a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. While per-student spending is relatively consistent, the data suggests systemic challenges that may need to be addressed to improve student outcomes and overall school performance in the 05156 zip code area.
