HEM Junior/Senior High School

Summary:

HEM Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Hanna, Wyoming, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 85 students. The school is part of the Carbon County School District #2, which is ranked 24 out of 42 districts in Wyoming and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

HEM Junior/Senior High School has shown strong academic performance, ranking 24th out of 80 Wyoming high schools in the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 school years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's ranking has dropped to 38th out of 80 high schools in the 2023-2024 school year, with a 3-star rating. The school has consistently outperformed the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) assessments, but its performance in Mathematics assessments has been more mixed.

The school has a relatively small student population, with a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status backgrounds. While the school has performed particularly well for female students, its performance for male students and white students has been more mixed. The school's relatively low student-to-teacher ratio and increasing per-student spending suggest that the district is investing resources in the school, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. However, the high percentage of students from low socioeconomic status backgrounds may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance, particularly in areas like Mathematics, and addressing the needs of these students could be a key focus for the school and district.

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.
