Summary
Midwest School is an alternative public school located in Midwest, Wyoming, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 141 students. As part of the Natrona County School District #1, which is ranked 36 out of 43 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, Midwest School stands out with its unique approach to education.
One of the school's key strengths is its relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 77.5% to 91.7% in recent years, which are generally higher than the district and state averages. However, Midwest School's academic performance, as measured by WY-TOPP assessments, shows a mixed picture, with the school performing better than the district and state in some grade levels and subjects, while lagging behind in others. For instance, the school's 10th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 44.4% in 2024-2025, compared to 51% for the district and 50.4% for the state.
Midwest School serves a population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 68.24% to 73.05% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. This suggests the school caters to a greater proportion of economically disadvantaged students. To support this population, Midwest School has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $26,125 to $32,226 in recent years, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 10.3 students per teacher, both of which are higher than the district and state averages. These factors may contribute to the school's ability to provide more individualized attention and specialized resources to its students.
