Elementary Schools in Laramie County School District #1

Summary:

The Laramie County School District #1 in Wyoming is home to 27 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This diverse district features a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with significant variation in academic achievement, student demographics, and resource allocation.

At the top of the district, Pioneer Park Elementary and PODER Academy stand out as the highest-ranked elementary schools, both earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools demonstrate exceptional academic performance, with 70-93% of students proficient or better in core subjects. In contrast, several high-poverty schools like Afflerbach Elementary and Goins Elementary struggle, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages.

The data reveals significant disparities within the Laramie County School District #1, with the performance gap between top and bottom schools reaching as high as 73 percentage points in 3rd grade English Language Arts. While factors like funding and staffing ratios do not appear to be the primary drivers of academic success, the data suggests that school leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices play a crucial role in student outcomes across the district.
