Rock River High School

Summary:

Rock River High School is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in Rock River, Wyoming, with a total enrollment of just 34 students. As part of the Albany County School District #1, which is ranked 13 out of 42 school districts in Wyoming and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, Rock River High School offers a unique educational experience.

One of the school's key differentiators is its small size, with a very low student-teacher ratio ranging from 3.8 to 4.6 students per teacher over the past few years. This is significantly lower than the state average and can provide students with more personalized attention and support. However, the small size may also limit the breadth of course offerings and extracurricular activities. Additionally, Rock River High School has a very high per-student spending, ranging from $35,566 to $52,062 over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average and may indicate a focus on providing a well-resourced educational experience for the small student population.

While the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, has been somewhat inconsistent over the years, with rankings ranging from 32nd to 70th out of Wyoming high schools and a star rating from SchoolDigger that has varied from 1 to 3 stars, the school's results are mixed when compared to the Albany County School District #1 and the Wyoming state averages. This suggests that the school's academic strengths and weaknesses may be specific to certain subject areas or grade levels, and that continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to ensure that the school is meeting the needs of its community.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
