Eastside Elementary

Summary:

Eastside Elementary is a public middle school located in Rock Springs, Wyoming, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 525 students. It is part of the Sweetwater County School District #1, which is ranked 32 out of 42 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Eastside Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to the state and district averages. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the 6th-grade ELA proficiency rate at Eastside is 47.7%, compared to the state average of 58.6%. Additionally, Eastside Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (50.29%) compared to nearby Pilot Butte Elementary (32.08%) and Rock Springs Junior High (38.75%), suggesting that it serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Despite higher per-student spending at Eastside Elementary ($14,357) compared to the state ($13,629) and district ($15,592) averages, the school's academic performance remains below the state and district levels. Interestingly, Lincoln Middle School, located in the neighboring Sweetwater County School District #2, consistently outperforms Eastside Elementary and the Sweetwater County School District #1 average in both ELA and Mathematics, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Eastside Elementary to learn from the successful practices of schools in other districts.

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.
