New Frontier High School

Summary:

New Frontier High School is a small public high school located in Kemmerer, Wyoming, serving grades 7-12 with only 14 students. It is part of the Lincoln County School District #1, which is ranked 8th out of 42 districts in Wyoming and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In the 2023-2024 school year, New Frontier High School ranked 42nd out of 80 Wyoming high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is a significant improvement from previous years, where the school ranked lower and had a 1-star rating. The school's 10th-grade students performed well on the WY-TOPP assessments, with 50% proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Science, higher than the statewide average but lower than the district average. However, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 35.71% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the 18.56% rate at the nearby Kemmerer Junior Senior High School.

Despite its small size, New Frontier High School spends more per student, at $33,261 in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to $20,256 per student at Kemmerer Junior Senior High School. This higher spending may be a result of the school's low student-teacher ratio of 7:1, which allows for more personalized attention for each student. Overall, the analysis suggests that New Frontier High School is a relatively high-performing small school within the Lincoln County School District #1, but it faces unique challenges in serving its student population.

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.
