Ft. Washakie Elementary consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Wyoming, with rankings between 134-152 out of 144-154 schools over the past 10 years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages, often less than half the statewide proficiency levels.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($46,787 in 2022-2023) compared to the state average and having a very low student-teacher ratio of 7.5 students per teacher, Ft. Washakie Elementary has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes.

The nearby schools, such as Arapahoe Elementary, Wind River Elementary, Gannett Peak Elementary, and Baldwin Creek Elementary, generally perform better academically than Ft. Washakie Elementary. These schools have higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as higher overall rankings within the state. However, some of these nearby schools also serve student populations with lower percentages of low-income and Native American students, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance.

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.
