The school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 15.44% in 2021-2022 to 30.77% in 2023-2024, suggesting a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. However, Etna Elementary has experienced a steady increase in per-student spending, from $14,343 in 2021-2022 to $17,746 in 2023-2024, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.8 to 14.3 over the past three school years.

Interestingly, the nearby Star Valley Middle School, which is also part of the Lincoln County School District #2, has consistently outperformed Etna Elementary on the WY-TOPP assessments, particularly in English Language Arts. This suggests an opportunity for Etna Elementary to learn from the practices and strategies employed at Star Valley Middle School. Overall, Etna Elementary is a middle school with generally strong academic performance, but with some areas for improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of its growing population of economically disadvantaged students.
