Summary:
The 82214 zip code area in Wyoming is home to three schools: Guernsey-Sunrise Elementary, Guernsey-Sunrise High School, and Guernsey-Sunrise Junior High, all part of the Platte County School District #2. While the schools have relatively small enrollments and low student-teacher ratios, they consistently perform below the state average on academic measures, with low statewide rankings and test scores.
The data shows that all three schools in the 82214 zip code area struggle with academic performance, with proficiency rates on standardized tests often 20-30 percentage points lower than the Wyoming average. The schools' statewide rankings are also in the bottom quartile of their respective school types. Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $34,673 to $44,264, the schools have not been able to translate this investment into better outcomes for their students.
The high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 45.24% to 53.57%, suggest that the schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance issues. The small enrollment numbers, particularly at the junior high and high school levels, may also present challenges in terms of offering a diverse curriculum and extracurricular activities. Overall, the data paints a picture of a school district that is struggling to provide quality education to its students, and addressing the underlying factors may be necessary to improve the academic performance of these schools.
