Casper Classical Academy

Summary:

Casper Classical Academy is a public middle school serving grades 6-9 in Casper, Wyoming, with 466 students enrolled. The school is part of the Natrona County School District #1, which is ranked 33 out of 42 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Casper Classical Academy generally outperforms the district and state in terms of student proficiency on WY-TOPP assessments, with 56.8% of 7th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 52.5% for the district and 55.3% for the state. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Hispanic and multi-racial students performing relatively well but male students, white students, and students with special needs or low socioeconomic status struggling. Casper Classical Academy also has a higher per-student spending of $16,819 and a lower student-teacher ratio ranging from 14.4 to 15 students per teacher, which may contribute to its stronger academic outcomes compared to nearby C.Y. Middle School and Centennial Middle School.

Despite its generally strong performance, Casper Classical Academy's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, from a high of 2nd in 2015-2016 to a low of 51st in the current 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school's performance may be volatile and influenced by various factors. When compared to other middle schools in the district, Casper Classical Academy outperforms C.Y. Middle School and Centennial Middle School, but the nearby Dean Morgan Middle School lags behind in terms of test scores and statewide rankings.

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.
