Summary

Guernsey-Sunrise High School is a public high school in Guernsey, Wyoming, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 66 students. The school is part of the Platte County School District #2, which is ranked 40 out of 43 school districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Guernsey-Sunrise High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wyoming high schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. In contrast, the nearby Wheatland High School, part of the Platte County School District #1, has ranked significantly higher, at 23-24 out of 80-83 schools, and maintained a 4-star rating. Guernsey-Sunrise High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is also significantly lower than the state and district averages, while Wheatland High School's proficiency rates are much higher.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $39,123 at Guernsey-Sunrise High School, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that the higher spending may not be translating into improved outcomes. The school also has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 45.45% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 29.97% at Wheatland High School. These factors may be contributing to the school's consistent underperformance, and addressing the unique needs of the Guernsey-Sunrise High School community will require a comprehensive and targeted approach.
