Summary:

The city of Gillette, Wyoming is home to three high schools: Thunder Basin High School, Campbell County High School, and Westwood High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are part of the Campbell County School District #1.

Among the three high schools, Thunder Basin High School stands out as the top performer. It is ranked 28th out of 80 Wyoming high schools and maintains a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Thunder Basin also has the highest proficiency rates in WY-TOPP English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other two schools. In contrast, Westwood High School struggles, with the lowest proficiency rates and the lowest SchoolDigger rating among the three schools, despite having the lowest student-teacher ratio and the highest spending per student.

Across the three high schools, the graduation rate is 81.6% for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the schools vary in their performance on WY-TOPP assessments, with Thunder Basin High School outperforming the district and state averages, while Campbell County High School and Westwood High School generally perform below the district and state averages. The data also reveals that Westwood High School has the highest percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, which may contribute to its lower academic performance.
