Summary

Laramie Montessori Charter School is an elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Laramie, Wyoming, part of the Albany County School District #1, which is ranked 17 out of 43 school districts in the state. With 103 students enrolled, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby public schools, which may indicate more individualized attention for students.

Laramie Montessori Charter School has had inconsistent academic performance, with test scores that fluctuate compared to district and state averages. While the school outperformed the district and state in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts (ELA), it consistently underperformed in Mathematics across grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has also been volatile, ranging from 38th out of 144 schools in 2021-2022 to 115th out of 146 schools in 2022-2023, suggesting its performance is not consistently strong compared to other elementary schools in Wyoming.

Another notable trend is the school's increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 33.71% in 2021-2022 to 42.72% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. This, coupled with the school's inconsistent academic performance, may indicate potential equity issues that need to be addressed to ensure all students, regardless of socioeconomic status, have access to a high-quality education. The school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $10,948 to $16,878 over the past few years, suggests it may have additional resources to support student learning.

My daughter started at Montessori after years at another local charter schools. The difference is amazing. She has regained her love of school and learning. Also they do a much better job of teaching self regulation and responsibility, so her behavior has actually improved over when she was in the much stricter school. Close Quote
