Expedition Academy

Summary:

Expedition Academy is a small public high school in Green River, Wyoming, serving 42 students in grades 9-12. As part of the Sweetwater County School District #2, which is ranked 27th out of 42 districts in the state, Expedition Academy stands out for its unique characteristics compared to the larger nearby high schools.

With a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, Expedition Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wyoming high schools, with significantly lower test scores than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 40% of Expedition Academy students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 54.1% in the district and 53.7% statewide. In Science, the proficiency rate was just 20%, compared to 55.5% in the district and 46.6% statewide. However, the school spends significantly more per student ($30,985) than the nearby Green River High School ($17,895) and Rock Springs High School ($16,022), suggesting a focus on providing additional resources and support for its students.

Despite the low academic performance, Expedition Academy has a more diverse student population compared to the nearby high schools, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and Native American students. Additionally, the school has a very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.4 to 8.5 over the past few years, which could be a strength, allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school has seen a slight decline in enrollment over the past few years, from 47 students in 2020-2021 to 42 students in 2022-2023.

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.
