Laramie County School District #1


Summary:

The Laramie County School District #1 in Wyoming encompasses 37 schools, including 27 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 5 high schools, serving a diverse student population across the region. The district showcases a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools, with standout institutions like PODER Academy and Pioneer Park Elementary leading the way in academic achievement, while other schools struggle to meet state averages.

The district's performance is marked by significant disparities, with the top-ranked schools like PODER Academy and Jessup Elementary far outpacing the lowest-performing schools, such as Afflerbach Elementary and Arp Elementary. This achievement gap appears to be closely linked to socioeconomic factors, as schools with higher free and reduced-price lunch rates tend to have lower academic performance.

The Laramie County School District #1 also features a mix of traditional public schools and public charter schools, with the latter, such as PODER Academy and PODER Academy Secondary School, consistently outperforming the district and state averages. This suggests that the charter school model may be an effective approach in this region, providing parents with high-quality educational options.
