Summary:
The 05483 zip code in Vermont has only one school, Sheldon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 337 students. The school is part of the Northern Mountain Valley Unified Union School District #85, which is ranked 43 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sheldon Elementary School does not appear to be a standout school in Vermont, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 84th out of 137 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 96th out of 113 in 2022-2023, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 and 2022-2023 school years. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages across all grade levels, and its 4th grade proficiency rates in ELA and Math are significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (46.29%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.3 to 1, Sheldon Elementary School's performance appears to be trending downward, with its statewide ranking declining over the past few years. This suggests that the school may need to implement strategies to address the factors contributing to its lower academic performance, such as targeted interventions in the areas of English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and initiatives to support the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
