Summary:
The 82636 zip code has only one school, Evansville Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Natrona County School District #1. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance has been declining, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling below the district and state averages in recent years.
Evansville Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 73rd out of 144 Wyoming elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 101st out of 147 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating. The school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grade levels performing above the district and state averages, while others fall below. Additionally, the school has a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 52.94%, indicating a significant population of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Despite the higher per-student spending of $17,197 in 2022-2023, which is above the district and state averages, Evansville Elementary's academic performance has not consistently met the expected standards. This raises questions about the efficient use of resources and the need for further investigation to understand the root causes of the school's performance challenges and identify areas for improvement.
