Best Public Schools in Barton, VT

Summary:

The city of Barton, Vermont is home to a single school, the Barton Graded School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This elementary school has faced significant challenges in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 63rd out of 148 Vermont schools in 2020-2021 to 102nd out of 113 in 2022-2023.

Academically, the Barton Graded School is underperforming compared to state averages. On the 2022-2023 VTCAP assessments, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (44.44%), Mathematics (27.78%), and Science (30% in grade 5 and 27.27% in grade 8) were all well below the statewide averages. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty population, with over 57% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The lack of diversity at the Barton Graded School is also a concern, as the student population is predominantly white (89.51%), with small percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. Research suggests that diverse learning environments can benefit students' academic and social-emotional development. To address these challenges, the school and the Lake Region Union Elementary Middle School District may need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for all learners.
