Summary:

Farson-Eden Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state in academic assessments, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In the 2023-2024 school year, 71.4% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.8% in the district and 52.4% statewide. The school also has a significantly higher per-student spending, ranging from $26,548 in 2019-2020 to $29,159 in 2022-2023, and a very low student-to-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.4 in 2020-2021 to 7.1 in 2022-2023, indicating a high level of individual attention for students.

While Farson-Eden Elementary has generally maintained a strong academic standing, its ranking and star rating have fluctuated over the years, suggesting the need for ongoing monitoring and continuous improvement efforts. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and high percentage of White students may be factors in its academic success, and it is important to ensure that all students, regardless of their background, have access to quality education.

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.

Open Quote We moved to Farson, WY in August 2010. Our oldest son had been diagnosed with being drastically developmentally delayed. The school we moved from told us it would take him a minimum of three years to catch up to where he needed to be. Because of the small class sizes and the amazing teachers in the special education program and their expectations for their students, our son was able to go off of all IEP's in just one year in Farson. The teachers are amazing and you can really tell they love the children and want the very best for them. Close Quote

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.
