Summary:
Wyoming, Minnesota has two public schools, both PK–5 elementary schools in the Forest Lake Public School District: Wyoming Elementary with 447 students and Linwood Elementary with 400 students, a combined enrollment of 847. There are no middle, high, or alternative schools in the city dataset, so Wyoming families move on to other district schools after 5th grade. The district itself ranks 172 of 458 Minnesota districts, at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars.
Wyoming Elementary is the stronger performer. In 2025–2026 it ranked 222 of 869 schools — the 74th percentile with 4 stars — and beat both the district and the state in all three subjects: math 70.2%, reading 52.9%, and science 36.1%, compared with district scores of 49.9%, 49.6%, and 31.4% and state scores of 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. Its best results came in 4th-grade math (74.1%), 5th-grade math (72.1%), 5th-grade reading (70.0%), and 5th-grade science (36.1%). The clear weak spot is 3rd-grade reading at 40.4%, below the district (48.1%) and state (46.8%).
Linwood Elementary ranked 343 of 869 (61st percentile, 3 stars). Its strengths are in 3rd grade, where math reached 71.2% and reading 51.9%, both above district and state. All-grade reading is essentially tied with Wyoming Elementary (52.6% vs. 52.9%), but Linwood trails badly in 5th-grade math (35.7%) and 5th-grade science (27.3%), and its science score sits below the district's 31.4%. Trends differ too: Wyoming gained ground in math and science, while Linwood slipped slightly in all three subjects. Both schools have similar free/reduced-lunch rates (23.71% and 24.5%), and Linwood's smaller student–teacher ratio (16.4 vs. 17.9) has not translated into higher overall proficiency.
