Summary:
The 05656 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Johnson Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with 217 students. While the school has a favorable student-teacher ratio, it faces challenges with academic performance and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
Johnson Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with small percentages of other racial groups. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, mathematics, and science are all below the statewide averages, indicating potential areas for improvement. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, from 101st out of 148 Vermont elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 78th out of 113 in 2022-2023, suggesting a concerning trend in its performance relative to other schools in the state.
Despite these challenges, Johnson Elementary School has a higher per-student spending level than the state average, which may indicate a greater investment in the education of its students. The school's high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, at 49.31%, also suggests that it serves a population with significant economic challenges, which could have implications for the school's resource needs and support services. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and continued monitoring to address the school's performance gaps and support the success of its students.
