Heart Mountain Academy

Q: Is Heart Mountain Academy a good school?

Heart Mountain Academy ranks 16 th of 80 Wyoming high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Heart Mountain Academy is a public high school located in Cody, Wyoming, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 37 students. The school is part of the Park County School District #6, which is ranked 7th out of 42 districts in Wyoming and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In the 2023-2024 school year, Heart Mountain Academy ranked 16th out of 80 Wyoming high schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, dropping to 41st in 2022-2023 and 74th in 2021-2022, with a corresponding drop in its star rating. The school outperformed the district and state averages in WY-TOPP English Language Arts and Science for 10th-grade students, but its performance in WY-TOPP Mathematics was significantly lower than the district and state averages.

Compared to Cody High School, Heart Mountain Academy has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (40.54% vs. 16.06%) and a lower student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.6 to 7.8 over the past three school years, compared to 15.4 at Cody High School in 2022-2023. These factors suggest that Heart Mountain Academy may serve a more economically disadvantaged population, which could impact student performance and resource allocation, but the small school size and lower student-teacher ratio may provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support for 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.
