Summary:
The 82007 zip code area in Laramie County, Wyoming is home to 8 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Laramie County School District #1. While the district as a whole is ranked 34 out of 42 in the state, the schools in this area face significant challenges, with consistently low test scores and high rates of economic disadvantage among the student populations.
Among the standout schools, Triumph High School has the lowest statewide ranking and the weakest test scores, with only 24.5% of 10th graders proficient or better in ELA and just 8% in Math. In contrast, Hebard Elementary and Cole Elementary show that with the right strategies, these schools can improve, with Hebard having relatively strong test scores despite high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and Cole having the lowest student-teacher ratio and highest per-student spending.
Overall, the data highlights the need for a comprehensive, data-driven approach to address the systemic challenges facing these schools, which serve predominantly low-income communities. With equitable resource allocation, targeted interventions, and a focus on evidence-based practices, the schools in this zip code area have the potential to close the achievement gap and provide all students with access to a high-quality education.
