Wyoming Indian Elementary

Summary:

Wyoming Indian Elementary is an elementary school located in Ethete, Wyoming, serving grades 1-5 with a total enrollment of 271 students. The school is part of the Fremont County School District #14, which is ranked 41 out of 42 districts in Wyoming and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wyoming Indian Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, ranking 146th out of 147 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly lower than the state averages, with only 9.8% of 3rd-grade students and 14.3% of 4th-grade students being proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state averages of 52.4% and 49.7%, respectively. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 5.9% of 3rd-grade students and 8.2% of 4th-grade students being proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 56.1% and 54.5%. The school's performance on the WY-TOPP assessments has been consistently poor, with the school ranking among the bottom 5 schools in the state for various student subgroups.

The school has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 87.08% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. The school's low socioeconomic status student population ranks among the bottom 5 schools in the state, indicating a significant need for additional resources and support. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $34,123 in the 2022-2023 school year and the low student-to-teacher ratio of 10 students per teacher, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that simply allocating more resources may not be enough to drive meaningful improvements. In comparison, nearby schools such as Wind River Elementary, Rendezvous Elementary, and Gannett Peak Elementary generally perform better academically than Wyoming Indian Elementary, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from their successful practices and strategies.

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.
