JOHN C. SCHIFFER COLLABORATIVE SCHOOL

John C. Schiffer Collaborative School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Sheridan County School District #2 school district, located in Sheridan, WY with about 55 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 5 teachers, John C. Schiffer Collaborative School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The John C. Schiffer Collaborative School, located in Sheridan, Wyoming, serves as an alternative educational environment within the Sheridan County School District #2. Designed to support students who may not thrive in a traditional high school setting, the school focuses on a personalized, student-centered approach. By fostering a collaborative atmosphere between staff, students, and families, the school aims to create a supportive community that prioritizes individual academic goals, social-emotional growth, and real-world skill development.

The school is defined by its flexible programming and commitment to restorative practices, providing students with a pathway to graduation that emphasizes hands-on learning and mutual respect. Rather than a "one-size-fits-all" curriculum, the John C. Schiffer Collaborative School utilizes smaller class sizes and personalized learning plans to meet the unique needs of its student body. By bridging the gap between traditional instruction and individualized support, the school helps students overcome barriers to success and prepares them for life beyond high school.
