Summary

4-J Elementary School is a small public elementary school in Gillette, Wyoming, serving 36 students in grades K-6 and part of the Campbell County School District #1. While the school has experienced fluctuations in its statewide ranking and rating over the years, its most recent performance has been below average, ranking 120th out of 149 Wyoming elementary schools and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One bright spot for 4-J Elementary School is its relative strength in 6th grade Mathematics, where its proficiency rate of 66.7% exceeds the district and state averages. However, the school's overall proficiency rates in subjects like 5th grade English Language Arts lag behind the district and state. Interestingly, 4-J Elementary has a lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and a higher spending per student compared to the nearby Cottonwood Elementary School, suggesting that resources alone do not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes.

The fluctuations in 4-J Elementary School's performance over the years indicate that the school may face challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement. By examining the factors contributing to these changes, the school and district can potentially identify effective teaching practices or curriculum that can be leveraged to improve student learning across all subject areas.
