Summary

Sheridan Junior High School is a public middle school in Sheridan, Wyoming, serving 783 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Sheridan County School District #2, which is ranked 5 out of 43 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Sheridan Junior High School consistently ranks among the top middle schools in Wyoming, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, with particularly strong performance among female, Hispanic, and multi-racial students. The school has a relatively high spending per student of $14,985 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.1, which may contribute to its academic success. Nearby Tongue River Middle School and Big Horn Middle School, both part of the Sheridan County School District #1, also demonstrate strong academic performance, suggesting the Sheridan area has a concentration of high-quality middle schools.

While Sheridan Junior High School's overall performance is impressive, the school may need to focus on improving outcomes for specific subgroups, such as special education and low socioeconomic status students, where its rankings are not as high. The small enrollment of 16 students at The Wright Place, another middle school in the Sheridan County School District #2, suggests it may be a specialized or alternative program within the district.
