Summary:
The 05440 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Alburgh Community Education Center, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 188 students. The school is part of the Alburgh School District, which is ranked 60 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Alburgh Community Education Center faces several challenges, including a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 38.8% and test scores on the VTCAP assessments that are generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics where 3rd and 4th grade proficiency rates are less than 25%. Additionally, a high percentage (68.09%) of the school's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.
Despite these challenges, the school has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 11.7 compared to the state average. However, the school is ranked 103 out of 137 Vermont elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Addressing the issues of chronic absenteeism, underperforming test scores, and socioeconomic challenges will likely require a concerted effort by the school, district, and community to improve educational outcomes for the students.
