Summary

Bain Elementary is a public elementary school in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving 222 students in grades K-6. It is part of the Laramie County School District #1, which is ranked 32 out of 43 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bain Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wyoming elementary schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the recent years, except for 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 when it received a 3-4 star rating. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels, particularly in 5th-grade ELA and Mathematics, where the proficiency rates are around 27-30%, compared to the district's 44.5-48.5% and the state's 55.2-57.8%. Bain Elementary's 4th-grade Science proficiency rate is also low, ranging from 20.6% to 42.3% over the years, compared to the district's 41.3-49.7% and the state's 48.2-55.3%.

While Dildine Elementary, Alta Vista Elementary, and Sunrise Elementary within the same district have higher proficiency rates and better rankings, Bain Elementary's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio do not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The school's higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 21.99% to 43.3% in recent years, suggests that it may be serving a more economically disadvantaged student population, which could be contributing to the school's lower academic performance.
