Summary:
The Natrona County School District #1 in Wyoming is home to 4 middle schools serving grades 6-8. Based on the available data, C Y Middle School stands out as the top performer in the district, ranking 21st out of 77 middle schools statewide and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Dean Morgan Middle School appears to be the weakest performer, ranking 73rd in the state and receiving a 0-star rating.
C Y Middle School boasts the highest proficiency rates across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the district and state averages. For example, 74.5% of 8th graders at C Y Middle School were proficient or better in ELA, well above the district average of 57.1% and the state average of 61.4%. In contrast, Dean Morgan Middle School had the lowest proficiency rates, significantly trailing the district and state in all subject areas and grade levels.
The data also reveals a wide range in key metrics like spending per student, student-teacher ratios, and free/reduced lunch rates across the 4 middle schools. However, spending per student does not seem to be a major factor in determining school performance, as the school with the highest spending, Casper Classical Academy, is not the top performer. Overall, the Natrona County School District as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to state averages, suggesting systemic issues that need to be addressed.
