Summary

Newcastle Elementary 3-5 is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Newcastle, Wyoming, with 184 students. It is part of the Weston County School District #1, which is ranked 6th out of 43 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Newcastle Elementary 3-5 consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for WY-TOPP assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with particularly strong performance for female, Hispanic, and white students. However, the school struggles with supporting students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and those with disabilities, ranking in the bottom half of the state for these subgroups. The school's spending per student has decreased in recent years, but it is still higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby Newcastle Elementary K-2 school, which serves the younger grades, has significantly higher spending per student but a lower student-teacher ratio. This raises questions about the allocation of resources and the potential impact on student outcomes across the grade levels. By addressing the challenges faced by certain subgroups and exploring opportunities for collaboration between the two schools, Newcastle Elementary 3-5 can continue to enhance its educational quality and ensure all students have the support they need to succeed.
