WOODBURY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Woodbury Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school with about 57 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 4 teachers, Woodbury Elementary School has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Woodbury Elementary School is a small, community-focused public school located in the rural town of Woodbury, Vermont. As part of the Orleans Southwest Supervisory Union (OSSU), the school serves students from preschool through grade six. Its educational philosophy emphasizes a close-knit environment where students benefit from individualized attention, multi-age classroom settings, and a strong connection to the local natural surroundings. The school prides itself on fostering a supportive, family-like atmosphere that encourages academic growth alongside social-emotional development.

Beyond the classroom, Woodbury Elementary is deeply integrated into the fabric of its small-town community. The school utilizes its unique Vermont location to incorporate place-based learning and outdoor exploration into its curriculum. By maintaining a small student-to-teacher ratio, the school strives to ensure that every learner is known personally, promoting a culture of inclusivity and collaboration. With a focus on preparing students for their future education, the school remains committed to balancing traditional academic standards with the values and character development of its rural setting.
