Summary:
Fremont County School District #14 in Wyoming is home to a single middle school, Wyoming Indian Middle School, which serves a predominantly Native American student population. While the school spends significantly more per student than the state average, its academic performance lags behind, with proficiency rates well below state benchmarks in English Language Arts and Science.
With an enrollment of just 142 students, Wyoming Indian Middle School serves a high-poverty community, with over 82% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the school's academic challenges, as evidenced by proficiency rates as low as 9.8% in 7th grade English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 54.4%. Similarly, the school's 8th grade Science proficiency rate of 9.3% falls far short of the 48.1% state average.
Despite the school's struggles, its student-teacher ratio of 7.4 to 1 is significantly lower than the state average, suggesting that resources are not being effectively utilized to support student learning. The school's disproportionate racial makeup, with 97.89% of students identifying as Native American, also raises concerns about equity and access for students of color in the Fremont County School District #14.
