Summary:
The 82201 zip code area in Wyoming is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. While the schools in this area share some common characteristics, such as a predominantly white student population, they exhibit a wide range of performance and serve student populations with varying needs.
West Elementary stands out as a relatively strong performer, with higher proficiency rates in 3rd grade ELA and Math compared to the district and state averages. However, proficiency rates decline in the upper elementary grades, suggesting potential room for improvement. In contrast, Peak High School, the smallest school in the data set, serves a high-needs student population with an 80% free/reduced lunch rate and spends significantly more per student to address these challenges.
The schools in the 82201 zip code also exhibit a wide range of student-teacher ratios, from 7.5 students per teacher at Peak High School to 13 students per teacher at West Elementary. This variation in resources and support may contribute to the differences in academic performance observed across the schools. Additionally, the data suggests a potential issue with declining proficiency rates as students progress through the grade levels, particularly in math, which warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors and address this trend.
