Summary

Cole Elementary is a public elementary school located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 163 students. The school is part of the Laramie County School District #1, which is ranked 32 out of 43 districts in Wyoming and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, Cole Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of Wyoming elementary schools, with significantly below-average performance on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. Nearby schools in the same district, such as Pioneer Park Elementary, Arp Elementary, and Fairview Elementary, generally outperform Cole Elementary on academic measures.

The low academic performance of Cole Elementary, despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the specific needs of the student population, and the overall effectiveness of the school's educational programs and practices may be playing a significant role in the school's performance. Addressing these underlying factors could be crucial for improving the school's outcomes and providing a better educational experience for its students.
