Wyoming School Rankings
Wyoming Public K-12 School Rankings
are based on data from the
Proficiency Assessments for Wyoming Students (PAWS)
provided by
Wyoming Department of Education.
There are two sets of rankings:
-
Standard Rankings:
- Elementary Schools:
Percentages of students in 4th Grade at the Advanced Level in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics.
- Middle Schools:
Percentages of students in 8th Grade at the Advanced Level in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics.
- High Schools:
Percentages of students in 11th Grade at the Advanced Level in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics.
You have the option of (i) Ranking all schools in the State
of Wyoming (choose "All Counties" in the toolbar to the left),
(ii) Comparing individual Counties (choose "County Vs. County"), and
(iii) Comparing all schools in a given County (choose, for example,
"Laramie" County).

Notes:
-
Results presented on this site are for All Students; we do
not break down the results for different racial/gender/economic groups.
-
Wyoming has five (5) levels of student performance: Distinguished, Above Mastery,
Mastery, Below Mastery, and Novice.
-
Schools with fewer than 10 students are not included.
-
Grade level distributions are not consistent throughout Wyoming. For example, sixth
graders are in Elementary Schools in some areas; but in other areas, they are in Middle
Schools. This site classifies Elementary Schools as those with third, fourth, or fifth
graders; Middle Schools as those with seventh or eighth graders; and High Schools as
those with tenth graders. As such, some schools may be classified in more than one category.
-
County scores are calculated from the weighted average of the scores for the
individual schools. Weighting is by the number of students included. Larger
schools are weighted more heavily.
