Summary:
The 05458 zip code in Vermont is home to a single elementary school, the Grand Isle School, which serves students from grades K-6. While the school has a relatively small enrollment of 151 students, its academic performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 37th out of 113 schools in 2022-2023 to a projected 107th out of 137 schools in 2024-2025.
The Grand Isle School's performance on standardized tests, such as the VTCAP English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments, is generally below the statewide averages. For example, in 6th-grade English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate of 70% exceeds the state average of 57.38%, but in 3rd-grade Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate of just 4.17% falls well short of the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 43.05%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite these challenges, the Grand Isle School's small size may offer some advantages in terms of personalized attention and extracurricular opportunities. However, the school's declining statewide ranking and mixed academic performance suggest that the Champlain Islands Unified Union School District #66 may need to invest additional resources and support to help the Grand Isle School improve its educational outcomes and better serve the needs of its students.
