This is a very caring, child-centered school with a committed staff. The community supports the school in a wide variety of ways, and the school is the center of community life here.

We have a well run rural school, with lovely children and staff. A great place to be every day.

I love Monkton Central school because we are a small school with caring and loving teachers and support staff to work with our children. And our children are great they all know each other from kindergarten to sixth grade they know each other and help each other.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Vermont used the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math, grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing and grades 4, 8 and 11 in science. The NECAP reading, math, and writing tests are given in the fall and test students on content taught in the previous year. The science portion of the NECAP is administered in the spring each year. The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Vermont. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the test.
