Summary:
The 82331 zip code area is home to two schools - Saratoga Elementary and Saratoga Middle/High School, both part of the Carbon County School District #2. While the elementary school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, the middle/high school has experienced fluctuations in its performance, with both schools performing below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
Saratoga Elementary School, ranked 93 out of 147 Wyoming elementary schools, has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 26.2%, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school spends $21,335 per student, which is higher than the state average, but maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 9.4. In contrast, Saratoga Middle/High School, ranked 50 out of 80 Wyoming high schools, has a 2-star rating and a lower free/reduced lunch rate of 17.78%. However, the middle/high school spends a significantly higher amount of $30,890 per student, which does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for its students.
Overall, the data suggests that both Saratoga Elementary and Saratoga Middle/High School are facing challenges in providing quality education to their students, with Saratoga Elementary showing a more consistent decline in performance over the past few years. Further investigation into the underlying factors, such as teaching practices, resource allocation, and community engagement, may be necessary to identify the root causes of the schools' performance issues and develop targeted strategies for improvement.
