Saratoga Elementary

Summary:

Saratoga Elementary is a public elementary school in Saratoga, Wyoming, serving 187 students in grades K-6 and part of the Carbon County School District #2.

Saratoga Elementary has shown a mixed academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math that are generally lower than the state and district averages, except for 5th and 6th-grade ELA where the school outperformed the state. The school's performance has fluctuated over the past few years, with some grades and subjects performing stronger than others. Notably, the school has performed particularly well for its special education and disabled student populations, ranking in the top 5 and top 1 in the state, respectively, in recent years. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status students has been more mixed.

Saratoga Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the state average, which may indicate effective resource allocation. However, the school's mixed academic performance suggests that there may be opportunities to further optimize resource utilization and target areas of need. Overall, Saratoga Elementary appears to be a school with both strengths and areas for improvement, and the school and district can work to enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for all students.

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.
