Summary

Park Elementary is a public elementary school in Casper, Wyoming, serving 351 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Natrona County School District #1, which is ranked 36 out of 43 districts in the state.

Park Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on the WY-TOPP assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Park Elementary's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 44% in ELA and 41.2% in Math, compared to the district's 53.4% and 59.7%, respectively, and the state's 53.1% and 58.2%. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 37th out of 153 schools in 2018-2019 to 104th out of 149 schools in 2024-2025. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively better but White students, students with low socioeconomic status, and students with special needs performing significantly lower.

Nearby schools in the Natrona County School District, such as Crest Hill Elementary, Southridge Elementary, and Sagewood Elementary, have generally outperformed Park Elementary on academic measures. Park Elementary's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds (over 50% in 2023-2024) and relatively high student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its struggles. Addressing these issues and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students at Park Elementary.
