The Wright Place

Summary:

The Wright Place is a small middle school in Sheridan, Wyoming, serving 20 students in grades 6-8. While it is part of the highly-ranked Sheridan County School District #2, The Wright Place consistently underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests.

The Wright Place's small size may allow for more personalized attention, but it also has lower test scores, a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and higher per-student spending compared to the nearby Sheridan Junior High School. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated, but it has generally been in the bottom half of Wyoming middle schools, suggesting a need for improvement in academic performance. The school's higher poverty rates and smaller student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its lower academic outcomes.

However, The Wright Place's small size and personalized environment could also present opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. The school could explore ways to align its curriculum and instructional practices with the higher-performing Tongue River Middle School and Big Horn Middle School in the Sheridan County School District #1.

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.
