Summary:
The 82214 zip code area has only one elementary school, Guernsey-Sunrise Elementary, which serves students from the Guernsey-Sunrise community. While the school has a small class size and high per-student spending, its academic performance is consistently low, with students scoring significantly below the district and state averages on state assessments across all grade levels and subject areas.
Guernsey-Sunrise Elementary has a student population that is predominantly white (88.89%), with a relatively high percentage of students (45.24%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. Despite the school's small class sizes and high spending, it has struggled to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes, ranking between 119-144 out of 146-153 elementary schools in Wyoming over the past 3 years and receiving a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger.
The consistently low academic performance at Guernsey-Sunrise Elementary raises questions about the effective use of resources and the factors contributing to the lack of academic success, such as potential socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's community. Addressing these root causes would be crucial for improving the educational outcomes for students at this school, which is the only elementary school serving the 82214 zip code area and is part of the Platte County School District #2.
