Summary

Colter Elementary is a public elementary school located in Jackson, Wyoming, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 289 students. It is part of the Teton County School District #1, which is ranked 18 out of 43 school districts in Wyoming and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Colter Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Wyoming, with a statewide ranking between 6th and 9th place in recent years. Its students have demonstrated exceptional academic achievement, with consistently high proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the WY-TOPP assessments, often outperforming the district and state averages. The school also maintains a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.9 to 9.6 students per teacher in recent years, which is lower than the nearby Kelly Elementary, Munger Mountain Elementary School, Wilson Elementary, and Jackson Elementary schools.

Colter Elementary's high per-student spending of around $23,000-$25,000 in recent years, which is higher than the state average, may contribute to its academic success. However, the school's lower ranking for Hispanic and English Language Learner students, as well as students with special needs or low socioeconomic status, suggests that Colter Elementary may need to focus on addressing any achievement gaps and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students, regardless of their background or special needs.
