Craftsbury Schools is the public school system serving students from the town of Craftsbury, Vermont, a town on the southern tip of Orleans County. The school includes grades kindergarten through twelve, along with a number of tuition students from neighboring towns in grades seven through twelve. The main campus is located on Craftsbury Common, though the school system maintains an elementary school in the village nearby. Historically, the town had almost a dozen small one-room schoolhouses scattered around the town, all of which are closed today. Separately, Craftsbury Academy began in a brick building on Craftsbury Common in the 1820s, making it the oldest continually-operated public high school in Vermont and among the oldest in the nation. The elementary schools and the Academy were consolidated over time into the current arrangement as a K-12 public school system. The school is the smallest K-12 school system in Vermont. As of the 2010-2011 school year a major renovation of the campus began, the smallest proposal in a series of proposed renovations which were rejected by the voters due partly to high costs. The school had a total enrollment of just over 160 students in the 2010-2011 school year, and is slowly declining in size at a rate similar to the overall state decline. In spite of its small size the school offers a comprehensive K-12 education comparable for the most part to many larger area schools, attested to by standardized test scores which are generally in line with state averages. Concerns remain about high per student costs among some community members. The principal is Merri Greenia.
