Summary

Arp Elementary is a public elementary school in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 311 students. The school is part of the Laramie County School District #1, which is ranked 32 out of 43 districts in the state.

Arp Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Wyoming elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school significantly underperforms the district and state in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Arp Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 27.3% in ELA and 44.1% in Math, compared to the district's 50.8% and 54.1%, and the state's 53.1% and 58.2%, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low in 4th and 5th-grade Math, with proficiency rates of only 8.9% and 16.3%, respectively.

While Arp Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not seem to be driving the school's poor performance. The nearby schools in the district show a wide range of performance, with some schools, such as PODER Academy and Anderson Elementary, ranking among the top schools in the state, while others, like Arp Elementary, are among the lowest-performing. This suggests that the school-specific factors, such as instructional quality, curriculum, and school culture, may be more significant in determining Arp Elementary's performance.
