Middle Schools in Carbon County School District #1

Carbon County School District #1 in Wyoming has only one middle school, Rawlins Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. Based on the available data, Rawlins Middle School does not appear to be a standout performer within the district or the state. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the 8th-grade ELA proficiency rate at Rawlins Middle School was 59.7%, compared to 60.8% for the district and 56.9% for the state.

Additionally, Rawlins Middle School has a relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 40.06% in 2022-2023, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. While the school's spending per student of $19,132 in 2022-2023 is higher than the state average, this increased funding has not translated into improved student outcomes. In fact, the school's performance on standardized tests has been declining over the past three school years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 43rd out of 76 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 55th out of 74 middle schools in 2023-2024.

Overall, the data suggests that Carbon County School District #1 and Rawlins Middle School may need to implement targeted interventions or strategies to improve student learning and academic achievement. The school's challenges, including lower proficiency rates and declining performance, indicate that the district may need to closely examine its resource allocation and teaching practices to better support the needs of its students.
