East High School

Summary:

East High School is a public high school in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving 1,513 students in grades 9-12. While the school is part of the Laramie County School District #1, which is ranked 29 out of 42 districts in the state, East High School's own performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 19th out of 80 high schools in 2012-2013 to 60th out of 80 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating.

One of the key areas of concern at East High School is student performance on standardized tests. The school's scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the WY-TOPP (Wyoming Test of Proficiency and Progress) have consistently fallen below the state and district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 44.8% of 10th-grade students at East High School were proficient or better in WY-TOPP English Language Arts, compared to 49% statewide and 36.1% in the district. Additionally, the school's ACT test performance for 11th-grade students is not available, making it difficult to compare to other schools.

Another area of concern is the significant variation in performance across different student subgroups at East High School. While the school ranks highly for Asian and African American students, it ranks much lower for Hispanic, White, and Special Education students. For instance, in 2023-2024, East High School ranked 3rd out of 3 Wyoming high schools for African American students but 30th out of 38 for Hispanic students. This suggests that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by underperforming subgroups to improve overall student achievement.

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.
