High Schools in Fremont County School District #25


Summary:

The Fremont County School District #25 in Wyoming is home to two high schools: Riverton High School and Frontier Academy. While Riverton High School is the larger of the two with 776 students, Frontier Academy stands out with a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 8.5 compared to Riverton High School's 17.2.

Academically, both schools face challenges, with Riverton High School's 10th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science falling below the district and state averages. Frontier Academy's 10th-grade proficiency rates are even lower, with only 25% of students proficient in ELA and Science. However, Frontier Academy's higher per-student spending of $27,801, compared to Riverton High School's $18,271, suggests a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for its students.

The contrast between the schools' resource allocation and academic performance highlights the potential trade-offs in education. While Frontier Academy's smaller class sizes may contribute to a more personalized learning environment, Riverton High School's higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests that it may be serving a more economically diverse student population, which could impact academic outcomes. Further investigation into the underlying factors and strategies employed by each school could yield valuable insights to support student success and district-wide improvement.
