West Side Elementary

Summary:

West Side Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Worland, Wyoming, with 172 students enrolled. The school is part of the Washakie County School District #1, which is ranked 14 out of 42 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Side Elementary consistently performs above the state average in proficiency rates for ELA, Math, and Science on the WY-TOPP assessments. The school ranks in the top 40% of Wyoming elementary schools for female students, male students, and white students, but its performance for Hispanic students and special education students is relatively lower. With a relatively high per-student spending of $20,226 and a low student-teacher ratio of 12 students per teacher, the school's strong academic performance may be attributed to these factors.

West Side Elementary is located in close proximity to two other elementary schools within the same school district, South Side Elementary and East Side Elementary. This proximity may provide opportunities for collaboration and resource-sharing among the schools. However, the school may need to address the performance gaps for certain subgroups, such as Hispanic students and special education students, to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.

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.
