Summary:
The 82643 zip code has only one school, Midwest School, an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 with 141 students. Midwest School is part of the Natrona County School District #1, which is ranked 36 out of 43 districts in Wyoming and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Midwest School has a 81.6% four-year graduation rate, which is relatively high. However, the school's proficiency rates on the WY-TOPP assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, with some exceptions in specific grade levels and subject areas. For example, 10th grade ELA proficiency is 44.4% at Midwest School, compared to 51% in the district and 50.4% statewide. On the other hand, 3rd grade Math proficiency is 57.1% at Midwest School, higher than the district's 59.7% and the state's 58.2%.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $31,216 and lower student-teacher ratio of 10:1, Midwest School serves a high-needs population, as evidenced by the 73.05% free and reduced lunch rate. This suggests that the school may face challenges in supporting its students' academic achievement, even with the additional resources. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be needed to address the disparities in test scores and improve overall student outcomes at Midwest School.
