Goins Elementary

Summary:

Goins Elementary is a public elementary school located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 306 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.

Goins Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wyoming elementary schools over the past decade, with a statewide ranking between 122 and 145 out of around 150 schools. The school has received a 0 or 1 star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. Goins Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics across all grade levels, particularly for male, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups. The school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.81% to 69.93% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

In comparison, nearby schools in the Laramie County School District #1, such as Pioneer Park Elementary and PODER Academy, are performing significantly better than Goins Elementary, with higher proficiency rates and better overall academic outcomes. This suggests that the district has the capacity to support high-performing schools, but Goins Elementary is struggling to achieve similar levels of success. To address these challenges, the school and district should consider conducting a comprehensive needs assessment, developing a targeted school improvement plan, and allocating additional resources and support to Goins 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.
