Summary:
The 82836 zip code area is home to two public high schools: Tongue River High School, a traditional public high school, and The Bridge School, an alternative public high school. Tongue River High School stands out as the top-performing school in the area, consistently ranking among the best high schools in Sheridan County School District #1 and the state of Wyoming.
Tongue River High School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating strong overall performance, and has ranked as high as 9th in the state. The school's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, are notably higher than the district and state averages, suggesting it is effectively preparing its students. In contrast, The Bridge School has a much lower statewide ranking, placing 59th out of 81 high schools in Wyoming in the 2020-2021 school year, and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is underperforming compared to other schools in the state.
The data also reveals a significant difference in spending per student between the two schools, with The Bridge School spending $124,312 per student compared to Tongue River High School's $15,239 per student. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the impact of spending on student outcomes. Additionally, Tongue River High School has a more diverse student population, with 13.57% of students being non-White, while The Bridge School has a 100% White student body, which may be an area for further investigation.
