Albin Elementary

Summary:

Albin Elementary is a small public elementary school located in Albin, Wyoming, serving grades K-6 with a total enrollment of 36 students. The school is part of the Laramie County School District #2, which is ranked 35 out of 42 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Albin Elementary stands out for its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.2 to 10.7 over the past few years, significantly lower than the nearby Pine Bluffs Elementary (13.6) and LaGrange Elementary (5.0). However, the school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.29% to 77.78% over the past three years, much higher than the 41.18% at Pine Bluffs Elementary and 31.25% at LaGrange Elementary. Albin Elementary's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics have been mixed compared to the district and state averages, with strong performance in 6th grade Mathematics but lower scores in 4th grade ELA.

Albin Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, from a high of 17th in 2018-2019 to a low of 106th in 2012-2013, suggesting inconsistent academic performance. The school's higher spending per student, ranging from $19,712 in 2020-2021 to $31,918 in 2022-2023, may be due to its small size and the need to maintain a low student-teacher ratio. While Albin Elementary's unique characteristics set it apart from nearby schools, its overall academic performance has been more mixed, indicating that factors beyond just class size and socioeconomic status may be influencing the school's outcomes.

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.
