Wray Junior Senior High School

Summary:

Wray Junior Senior High School is a public school serving grades 7-12 in the town of Wray, Colorado, with a total enrollment of 312 students. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a diverse student population from various socioeconomic backgrounds.

Academically, the school's performance is mixed. While its English Language Arts proficiency rates are higher than the state average, its science and math proficiency rates, as well as its SAT performance, lag behind. The school's overall statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 93rd out of 255 Colorado high schools in 2015-2016 to 184th out of 349 in 2023-2024. However, the school appears to be effectively supporting its Hispanic and low-socioeconomic status student subgroups, as they rank higher than the overall school performance.

Interestingly, the school's female students outperform their male counterparts, suggesting potential gender-based achievement gaps that could be further investigated. The school's diverse student population and its ability to support certain subgroups, coupled with the need for improvement in science, math, and college readiness, present both challenges and opportunities for Wray Junior Senior High School to enhance its educational outcomes and better serve its community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
