Summary:

The 05846 zip code area has only one elementary school, Brighton Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance data suggests it is a low-performing institution compared to other elementary schools in Vermont.

Based on the available information, Brighton Elementary School is ranked 112 out of 137 Vermont elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and has a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages, with only 6th grade ELA and Math scores exceeding the Vermont average. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.8% and a high percentage of students (70.87%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.8, which could be a positive factor, the consistently low performance of Brighton Elementary School suggests that the school may require targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by its student population and improve educational outcomes.
