Summary:
The Crook County School District #1 in Wyoming is home to two high-performing elementary schools: Moorcroft Elementary and Sundance Elementary. Both schools have consistently ranked among the top 50 elementary schools in Wyoming over the past three years, with Sundance Elementary slightly outperforming Moorcroft Elementary in statewide rankings.
Moorcroft Elementary and Sundance Elementary have demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in Mathematics, where they have outpaced the district and state averages in proficiency rates across all grade levels. The schools' small class sizes, with student-teacher ratios of 12.2 and 11.2, respectively, may contribute to their academic success. However, there are notable differences between the two schools, such as Moorcroft Elementary serving a higher proportion of students from lower-income families, as indicated by its higher free and reduced-price lunch rate of 40.12% compared to Sundance Elementary's 18.6%.
While both schools are considered standouts within the Crook County School District #1, the higher per-student spending at Sundance Elementary ($17,691) compared to Moorcroft Elementary ($14,308) may also be a factor in their academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that families in the Crook County School District #1 have access to two exceptional elementary school options, each with its own unique strengths and characteristics.
