Summary:
Big Horn County School District #4 in Wyoming has only one elementary school, Laura Irwin Elementary. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and is located in a rural area of the state.
Laura Irwin Elementary's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 66th out of 146 Wyoming elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 95th out of 147 in 2023-2024. The school's academic performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grade levels exceeding the state average in ELA and math proficiency, while others fall below. The school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% of its population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Laura Irwin Elementary benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 9.2, which may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school will need to focus on improving its consistency and addressing academic gaps, particularly in areas where student performance lags behind state averages. With targeted interventions and additional resources, the school has the potential to better serve its student population and improve its overall performance.
