Lyndon Town School still not making the grade

Student test scores at the Lyndon Town School still aren't meeting state standards. For the 5th straight year, test scores were below the level set by Vermont's Adequate Yearly Progress goals. These are goals set by the federal No Child Left Behind Act.

Students with learning disabilities and financial troubles continue to struggle in reading tests, while all students are struggling in math, according to the test scores. CNSU Superintendent Victoria Scheufler says that there needs to be more consistency between programs and from classroom to classroom.

Staff members and special educators will go through training so they can bring their students' learning up to where it should be.

Lyndon is currently in its third year of corrective action, which means the school must continue to implement measures to improve student test scores. It will take two consecutive years with improving numbers to be taken off the corrective action list.
