VT statewide education results released
by the Journal-Opinion
The Vermont Agency of Education released the preliminary 2024-2025 statewide assessment test results yesterday. 

The tests were administered during the last academic year. They measure student proficiency by grade level in three subject areas: English language arts, mathematics, and science. 

State officials said results were mostly consistent with the previous year:

“Most grade-level proficiency rates either remained identical to 2023-2024 or shifted by a percentage point or less, with the exception of ELA proficiency rates among 4th and 5th graders, which increased by 7 and 5 percentage points, respectively.”

Some results, via VT AOE, below. More data broken down by equity and cohorts available here.

The district-level and school-level results are not yet available. They will be released later this fall.

  1. But how do the results compare to 10 or 20 years ago? With all of the money pouring into they system ‘Proficient and Status Quo’ seem grossly inadequate

  2. Thanks for the link, Hilltop. I am going through it as we speak and it seems overall Vermont students are doing worse than last reporting. All that money should be buying us better than that. I know what the state will say next, we need to dump more money into it to fix it.

    No! What teachers aren’t doing their jobs? They need to be let go. If I don’t perform, I lose my job. A lot of students just don’t care about school. They are more interested in visiting there friends, chatting with their crush in the hall or browsing the web on their phone.

    Then there is curriculum. No longer is cursive taught and it should be. We have replaced it with gender studies and race theory. Money won’t fix these problems.
