Wyoming Indian Middle School

Summary:

Wyoming Indian Middle School is a public middle school located in Ethete, Wyoming, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 142 students. The school is part of the Fremont County School District #14, which is ranked 41 out of 42 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, Wyoming Indian Middle School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in the state, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are significantly lower than the state averages. The school has a very high percentage of Native American students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with over 80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This unique demographic composition may contribute to the persistent challenges the school faces in improving academic outcomes.

In comparison, nearby middle schools such as Riverton Middle School, Wind River Middle School, and Lander Middle School have significantly higher academic performance, lower rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients, and more favorable school rankings. This highlights the stark disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes within the same geographic region, suggesting that targeted interventions and support tailored to the specific needs of the Wyoming Indian Middle School student population could potentially lead to improved results.

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.
