Arp Elementary

Summary:

Arp Elementary is a public elementary school located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 333 students. The school is part of the Laramie County School District #1, which is ranked 29 out of 42 school districts in Wyoming and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Arp Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wyoming elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking of 138 out of 147 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in WY-TOPP assessments, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30% of 3rd-grade students at Arp Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 49.5% in the district and 52.4% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as White students and students with low socioeconomic status.

The nearby schools within the Laramie County School District #1, such as Bain Elementary and Alta Vista Elementary, generally perform better than Arp Elementary, with higher academic proficiency rates and better overall rankings. The high percentage of students from low-income families at Arp Elementary, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates, and the school's low spending per student compared to some of the higher-performing nearby schools, may be contributing factors to its poor performance. Targeted interventions and support, as well as collaboration with the district and community stakeholders, could be crucial in addressing the underlying issues and improving educational outcomes for the students at Arp Elementary.

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.
