Douglas High School

Summary:

Douglas High School is a public high school serving 513 students in grades 9-12 in Douglas, Wyoming, which is part of the Converse County School District #1. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, currently placing 32nd out of 80 Wyoming high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and holding a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Douglas High School performs on par with or slightly above the state and district averages on standardized tests like the ACT and WY-TOPP. The school's proficiency rates in WY-TOPP English Language Arts for 10th and 9th grades are higher than the state averages, but its proficiency rates in WY-TOPP Mathematics are slightly lower. However, the school's performance in WY-TOPP Science for 10th grade is significantly higher than the state average. The school also performs well in certain student subgroups, such as female students and Hispanic students, but has relatively lower performance for male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Over the past few years, Douglas High School has seen an increase in per-student spending and a decrease in the student-teacher ratio, which may have contributed to the school's overall performance. However, the fluctuating statewide ranking and the varying performance across different student subgroups suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing the specific needs of certain groups to enhance its educational quality and equity.

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.
