Ft. Washakie High School

Summary:

Ft. Washakie High School is a public high school located in Fort Washakie, Wyoming, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 84 students. The school is part of the Fremont County School District #21, which is ranked 40 out of 42 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite its small size, Ft. Washakie High School has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Wyoming high schools over the past several years, with a ranking of 77 out of 80 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

The school's academic performance is significantly below the state average across various standardized tests, with proficiency rates in WY-TOPP English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for 10th grade at just 20%, 15%, and 10%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 49%, 41.5%, and 46.4%. This trend has persisted over the past few years, and the school's performance on student subgroup metrics, particularly for Native American and low-socioeconomic students, is also concerning, ranking in the bottom 3 out of 3 Wyoming high schools for Native American students and in the bottom 60 out of 60-61 schools for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $49,265, the school's academic outcomes remain significantly below the state average.

In comparison, nearby schools such as Wind River High School and Pathfinder High School, while also facing challenges, appear to be performing better academically than Ft. Washakie High School. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Ft. Washakie High School to learn from the practices and strategies employed by these relatively higher-performing schools to address the unique needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes.

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.
