Evanston Middle School

Summary:

Evanston Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Evanston, Wyoming, with 304 students. It is part of the Uinta County School District #1, which is ranked 25th out of 42 school districts in the state.

Evanston Middle School generally performs above the state and district averages in English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, but lags behind in mathematics. The school performs relatively well for its White and Special Education student subgroups, but struggles with its Hispanic student subgroup. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school has seen its per-student spending increase from $15,823 in 2019-2020 to $18,522 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's overall performance does not appear to be commensurate with the level of investment, indicating that there may be opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation.

Interestingly, Evanston Middle School's neighboring school, Davis Middle School, consistently outperforms it in both ELA and mathematics proficiency rates, as well as in the school's overall statewide ranking. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Evanston Middle School to learn from the practices and strategies employed at Davis Middle School. Additionally, Evanston Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the past decade, ranging from 25th to 51st place among Wyoming middle schools, indicating that the school's performance may be inconsistent or subject to significant year-over-year changes.

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.
