Summary

Rossman Elementary is a public elementary school located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 309 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.

Rossman Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wyoming elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 136-149 out of around 150 schools. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating poor overall performance. Rossman Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the district and the state in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects, with particularly concerning performance for certain student subgroups such as Hispanic students, White students, and students with low socioeconomic status.

In contrast, the nearby schools in the Laramie County School District #1, such as PODER Academy, Fairview Elementary, and Alta Vista Elementary, generally outperform Rossman Elementary in academic metrics, with higher proficiency rates, better student subgroup performance, and higher overall rankings from SchoolDigger. While Rossman Elementary's relatively high spending per student suggests that funding alone may not be the primary driver of academic success, the school's consistent underperformance presents an opportunity for the district and school leadership to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific challenges faced by the school.
