Kaycee School

Summary:

Kaycee School is an alternative public school in Kaycee, Wyoming, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 113 students. The school is part of the Johnson County School District #1, which is ranked 11th out of 42 school districts in Wyoming and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kaycee School outperforms the state and district averages in several key academic areas, particularly in WY-TOPP (Wyoming Test of Proficiency and Progress) assessments. For example, in 2022-2023, the school had higher proficiency rates in 10th grade English Language Arts (58.3% vs. 53.7% state average), 8th grade English Language Arts (70% vs. 59.8% state average), and 10th grade Mathematics (72.7% vs. 43.7% state average). However, the school's performance in ACT assessments for 11th-grade students is not reported, making it difficult to compare the school's performance on this important college-readiness metric.

Kaycee School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 28.32% in 2022-2023 to 33.94% in 2020-2021, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $26,797 in 2019-2020 to $34,285 in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.9 to 6.2 students per teacher over the past three school years, lower than the state and district averages.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
