Summary:
The city of Fort Washakie, Wyoming is home to three public schools: Ft. Washakie Elementary, Ft. Washakie High School, and Ft. Washakie Middle School, all of which serve students from the Fremont County School District #21. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across a range of key metrics.
Across all three schools, test scores are significantly below state averages, with proficiency rates in subjects like 3rd grade English Language Arts as low as 20.6% compared to the state average of 53.1%. The schools have also consistently ranked in the bottom tiers of Wyoming schools, with Ft. Washakie Elementary ranking 145th out of 146 elementary schools and Ft. Washakie High School ranking 80th out of 80 high schools in the state. Additionally, all three schools have received the lowest possible rating of 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.
Despite the high per-student spending, ranging from $59,017 at Ft. Washakie Middle School to even higher amounts at the other two schools, the schools are not achieving strong academic outcomes. This raises questions about the effective use of resources and the underlying factors contributing to the poor performance. One potential advantage, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, does not appear to be translating into improved results. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the Fort Washakie schools, and addressing the systemic challenges will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in this community.
