Platte County School District #2

The Platte County School District #2 in Wyoming is home to three schools: Guernsey-Sunrise Elementary, Guernsey-Sunrise High School, and Guernsey-Sunrise Junior High. Unfortunately, the data shows that all three schools are performing significantly below the state averages on various academic metrics, with no clear standout schools in the district.

The schools in the Platte County School District #2 have consistently low performance, with all three schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories statewide. For example, Guernsey-Sunrise Elementary is ranked 128th out of 147 Wyoming elementary schools, while Guernsey-Sunrise High School and Guernsey-Sunrise Junior High are ranked 69th out of 80 and 70th out of 74 in their respective categories. Additionally, the proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels.

Despite the high spending per student, ranging from $34,673 at Guernsey-Sunrise Elementary to $44,264 at Guernsey-Sunrise High School, the academic performance of the schools does not seem to reflect this level of investment. Furthermore, the district has a higher proportion of students from low-income families, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 45.24% at Guernsey-Sunrise Elementary to 53.57% at Guernsey-Sunrise Junior High. These demographic challenges may contribute to the consistently low performance across the district, and the district may need to explore targeted interventions and support systems to address the needs of these students.
