Summary:
The Park County School District # 1 in Wyoming is home to two high schools: Powell High School and Shoshone Learning Center. While both serve high school students, the data analysis reveals stark differences in their academic performance and school characteristics.
Powell High School stands out as the top-performing high school in the district, consistently ranking among the best in Wyoming with a statewide ranking of 14 out of 80 schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Shoshone Learning Center has struggled, ranking 73 out of 79 schools in the state and earning only a 1-star rating.
The data also reveals differences in school characteristics, such as free and reduced lunch rates, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios. Powell High School has a lower free and reduced lunch rate of 33.95% compared to 57.89% at Shoshone Learning Center. However, Shoshone Learning Center spends more per student at $23,912, while Powell High School spends $16,777 per student. These differences in resource allocation and student demographics may contribute to the disparities in academic performance between the two schools.
