Best Public Schools in Zip Code 05824

Summary:

The 05824 zip code in Vermont has only one school, Concord Graded/Middle School, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 144 students. The school is part of the Kingdom East Unified Union School District #64, which is ranked 56 out of 75 districts in Vermont and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Concord Graded/Middle School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 58th out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 120th out of 137 in 2024-2025. This decline is accompanied by a drop in the school's SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 1. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 40.3% and mixed academic performance, with 3rd-grade students scoring below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, while 6th and 7th-grade students performed closer to the state averages.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.4, it serves a predominantly low-income community, with 65.28% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2024-2025 school year. These factors, combined with the school's declining performance and high chronic absenteeism, suggest that the school and the district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the challenges facing the school and improve student outcomes.
