Summary:
The city of Evansville, Wyoming has only one public elementary school, Evansville Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Natrona County School District #1. While Evansville Elementary has some positive academic metrics, such as strong 5th-grade proficiency in Math and ELA, the school's overall performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, is below average compared to other elementary schools in Wyoming.
Evansville Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 80th out of 146 Wyoming elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 101st out of 149 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in ELA and Math are generally below the district and state averages, with the exception of 5th-grade Math and ELA, which are significantly higher. Evansville Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students (57.41%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending ($18,511) and lower student-teacher ratio (12.4) compared to the state average, these investments do not appear to be translating into significantly better academic performance. The data suggests that Evansville Elementary is a relatively average-performing school in Wyoming, with some bright spots in 5th-grade academic achievement but also areas for improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and improving its statewide ranking over time.
