Summary:
Converse County School District #1 in Wyoming is home to a single high school, Douglas High School. With 513 students, the school has a predominantly white student population, with 87.33% identifying as white and 10.53% as Hispanic. While the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to state averages, it stands out for its relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 20.66%.
Douglas High School's academic performance is a mixed bag. In English Language Arts, 10th-grade students scored 51.4% proficient or better, slightly below the state average of 53.7%. In Mathematics, however, they scored 35.2% proficient or better, significantly below the state average of 43.7%. In Science, the school performed slightly better, with 47.2% of 10th-grade students scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 46.6%. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average at $22,504, and its student-teacher ratio is lower at 12.7, suggesting a focus on resource allocation.
Despite the higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance is not significantly outpacing the state averages, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the impact of funding on student outcomes. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger ranking has fluctuated over the past three years, going from 38th in 2021-2022 to 53rd in 2022-2023, indicating a need to examine the factors behind this change and implement targeted interventions to address the school's performance gaps and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
