Bain Elementary

Summary:

Bain Elementary is a public elementary school in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving 224 students in grades K-6 and part of the Laramie County School District #1. However, the school has seen a steady decline in its academic performance and statewide rankings over the past several years, now ranking 114th out of 147 Wyoming elementary schools and holding a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bain Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, Bain's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 41.2%, compared to 49.5% for the district and 52.4% for the state. The school's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female, male, Hispanic, White, and low socioeconomic status students, are also in the bottom half of Wyoming elementary schools. Additionally, Bain has seen a significant increase in its free and reduced lunch rate, from 21.99% in 2021-2022 to 43.3% in 2022-2023, suggesting a growing population of students from low-income families.

Compared to nearby schools in the Laramie County School District #1, such as Dildine Elementary, Saddle Ridge Elementary, and Baggs Elementary, Bain Elementary's academic performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher proficiency rates in ELA, Mathematics, and Science, as well as better overall statewide rankings. Despite Bain's relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school's declining performance and rankings suggest the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to improve student learning and achievement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
