Baldwin Creek Elementary

Summary:

Baldwin Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Lander, Wyoming, serving grades 4-5 with a total enrollment of 237 students. This school is part of the Fremont County School District #1, which is ranked 28 out of 42 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baldwin Creek Elementary is a consistently high-performing school, ranking between 20 to 37 out of 144-154 schools in Wyoming over the past 10 years and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school excels in serving diverse student populations, with exceptional performance across subgroups like female, male, Hispanic, and White students. Baldwin Creek's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently outperform the state and district averages, with proficiency rates well above 50% in the 2023-2024 school year.

While Baldwin Creek Elementary is a standout performer, the school faces challenges in serving its special education and low-socioeconomic status (SES) student populations. The school's rankings for these subgroups have declined in recent years, ranking 59th out of 84 schools for special education and 64th out of 122 schools for low-SES students in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school has increased its per-student spending and decreased its student-teacher ratio, which may help address these disparities in the future. When compared to nearby schools, such as Gannett Peak Elementary, Baldwin Creek's performance is significantly stronger, outpacing other local schools like Arapahoe Elementary and Ft. Washakie 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.
