Whiting High School

Summary:

Whiting High School is a public high school located in Laramie, Wyoming, serving grades 9-12 with a relatively small student population of 77 as of the 2022-2023 school year. Despite its higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby Laramie High School, Whiting High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of Wyoming high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Whiting High School has a higher percentage of Hispanic students (20.78%) compared to the nearby Laramie High School (20.37%) and the state average, but a lower percentage of non-White students overall, with 75.32% of students being White in the 2022-2023 school year. The school also has a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 41.56% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the 15.89% at Laramie High School.

Whiting High School's academic performance, as measured by state assessments and its statewide ranking, has been declining over the years, with only 35.7% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2022-2023, compared to 50.4% in the Albany County School District #1 and 53.7% statewide. This suggests that factors beyond resources, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and student engagement, may be contributing to the school's struggles, which are in stark contrast to the relatively better performance of the nearby Laramie High School.

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.
