Summary:

The school is part of the Echo Valley Community Union School District #67, which is ranked 28 out of 51 districts in Vermont and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington Village School has shown significant improvement in recent years, ranking 35 out of 113 Vermont elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is a notable improvement from the 2018-2019 school year, when it ranked 101 out of 138 schools and had a 1-star rating. The school's students consistently outperform the state average in Mathematics, with 3rd and 4th-grade proficiency rates ranging from 47.06% to 53.33%, compared to the state averages of 37.19% to 34.9%. However, the school's racial homogeneity, with 94.92% of students being white in the 2022-2023 school year, is in contrast to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Union Elementary School (82.14% white) and East Montpelier Elementary School (89.18% white).

The decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Washington Village School, from 50% in 2020-2021 to 37.29% in 2022-2023, may indicate an improvement in the socioeconomic status of the school's student population, which could contribute to its academic performance. While Washington Village School outperforms the state averages in several academic areas, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as East Montpelier Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Vermont.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Very poor/limited learning experience offered to economically depressed community.

Non-inclusive administration.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
