Kaycee School

Summary:

Kaycee School is an alternative public school located in Kaycee, Wyoming, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 113 students. As part of the Johnson County School District #1, which is ranked 15th out of 42 school districts in Wyoming and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, Kaycee School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics.

Kaycee School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in WY-TOPP (Wyoming Test of Proficiency and Progress) assessments, with 71.4% of 10th-grade students projected to be proficient or better in WY-TOPP Mathematics, compared to 48.3% for the district and 41.5% for the state. However, the school's performance in WY-TOPP English Language Arts is more mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state averages, while others are below. Additionally, Kaycee School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 28.32% to 33.94%, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

Despite the challenges, Kaycee School's investment in its students is evident in its higher per-student spending, ranging from $26,797 to $34,285 over the past few years, and its very low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5.9 to 6.2 students per teacher. These factors likely contribute to the school's strong performance in mathematics and may also help address the inconsistencies in English Language Arts. Overall, Kaycee School appears to be a high-performing alternative school that is dedicated to providing a personalized and well-rounded education for its students.

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.
