John C. Schiffer Collaborative School

Summary:

John C. Schiffer Collaborative School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Sheridan, Wyoming, with a relatively small student population of 72. The school is part of the Sheridan County School District #2, which is ranked 5 out of 42 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past decade, John C. Schiffer Collaborative School has had a fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from as high as 3rd out of 71 Wyoming high schools in 2011-2012 to as low as 74th out of 80 in the most recent 2023-2024 school year. This wide range in performance indicates the school has faced significant challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence. While male students have performed relatively well, ranking 9th out of 64 Wyoming high schools in 2022-2023, female students and white students have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of the state. Additionally, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have performed better than the overall school, ranking 32nd out of 52 high schools in 2021-2022.

The school's test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages across various assessments, including ACT and WY-TOPP. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science were all below 23%, compared to the district's 55-61% and the state's 41.5-49% proficiency rates. Despite having relatively high spending per student, ranging from $21,683 to $25,371 over the past few years, and a very low student-teacher ratio, the school's performance lags behind nearby high-performing schools like Tongue River High School and Sheridan High School, both of which are in the top 25% of Wyoming high schools.

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.
