Crest Hill Elementary

Summary:

Crest Hill Elementary is a public elementary school in Casper, Wyoming, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Natrona County School District #1. The school has seen fluctuating performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 72nd to 127th out of Wyoming's elementary schools. Currently ranked 91st in the state for the 2023-2024 school year, Crest Hill Elementary has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crest Hill Elementary's student performance has been mixed, with 3rd-grade students outperforming the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, but 4th and 5th-grade students struggling with lower proficiency rates. The school's performance also varies among different student subgroups, with female and male students ranking lower than their peers across the state, while Hispanic students have shown more promising performance. However, the school's special education and low socioeconomic status (SES) students have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of Wyoming elementary schools. Crest Hill Elementary's higher percentage of students from low-income families, ranging from 37.27% to 40.42% in recent years, may contribute to these academic challenges.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Ft. Caspar Academy and Southridge Elementary, Crest Hill Elementary's performance is generally lower, with these nearby schools consistently having higher test scores and rankings. This suggests that the school's inconsistent performance across grade levels and disparities among student subgroups may require targeted interventions and support to address these inequities and improve overall 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.
