Summary:
Sweetwater County School District #2 in Wyoming is home to two high schools: Green River High School and Expedition Academy. Based on the available data, Green River High School appears to be the stronger-performing school, with higher statewide rankings, better test scores, and a lower free and reduced lunch rate compared to Expedition Academy.
Green River High School has consistently performed above the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates over 50% in several subject areas. In contrast, Expedition Academy has significantly lower test scores and a much lower statewide ranking, which could be due to its small size and the unique challenges it faces as an alternative high school.
The stark difference in free and reduced-price lunch rates between the two schools (22.06% at Green River High School vs. 50% at Expedition Academy) suggests that Expedition Academy serves a more economically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Expedition Academy ($30,985) compared to Green River High School ($17,895) indicates that the district is allocating more resources to support the smaller, alternative school, though this higher spending does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes.
