Best Public Schools in Carpenter, WY

Summary:

The city of Carpenter, Wyoming has only one public school, Carpenter Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, Carpenter Elementary does not appear to be a standout school, as its performance on standardized tests, such as the WY-TOPP assessments, is generally below the Laramie County School District #2 and the state of Wyoming averages.

Carpenter Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages. For example, in 3rd-grade English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate is 33.3%, compared to 51.5% for the district and 52.4% for the state. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, with a ranking of 139 out of 147 Wyoming elementary schools for the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a decline in performance.

While Carpenter Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 22.97% for the 2022-2023 school year, and a higher spending per student at $22,518 compared to the state average, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.7 to 1 also suggests that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to address the challenges it faces. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
