Wright Junior & Senior High School

Summary:

Wright Junior & Senior High School is a public high school located in Wright, Wyoming, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 189 students. The school is part of the Campbell County School District #1, which is ranked 27 out of 42 districts in Wyoming and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, Wright Junior & Senior High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 21st to 64th out of 73-81 Wyoming high schools. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with a high of 4 stars out of 5 in 2017-2018 and a low of 1 star out of 5 in 2020-2021. While female students and Hispanic students have consistently outperformed their peers, White students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have struggled. The school's proficiency rates in WY-TOPP assessments are mixed, with some subject areas above the district and state averages and others below.

Despite the inconsistent performance, Wright Junior & Senior High School has seen an increase in per-student spending, from $21,447 in 2019-2020 to $24,653 in 2022-2023, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio. These investments in resources suggest the school is working to support student learning, but more targeted strategies may be needed to address the equity and inclusion issues that are contributing to the disparities in student group performance.

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.
