Best Public Schools in Kelly, WY

Kelly, Wyoming, has one listed school, Kelly Elementary, serving kindergarten through fifth grade in Teton County School District #1. Its latest reported fourth-grade results are strong across all three available subjects: 70% in English language arts (ELA), 80% in math and 70% in science. Those scores were 17.4, 17.4 and 13.8 percentage points above Wyoming, respectively; averaged across the subjects, Kelly scored 73.3%, compared with 57.1% statewide. The most important finding is that Kelly’s reported fourth-grade performance was consistently well above the state average.

Kelly Elementary is both the only school in the area and its only possible standout, so there is no local school-to-school comparison or bottom-ranked school. Against its district, Kelly was also ahead in fourth grade, by 3.2 points in ELA, 2.5 in math and 2.4 in science; its three-subject average was 2.7 points higher than the district’s 70.6%. SchoolDigger ranked the school 11th of 148 schools statewide in 2025–2026, at the 93rd percentile with five stars. That ranking reflects its comparative standing, rather than a test-score percentage. A separate strong result came in third-grade ELA in 2024–2025: 80%, compared with 65.6% for the district and 53.1% for Wyoming.

Fourth-grade math improved notably from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Kelly rose from 66.7% to 80%, while Wyoming increased from 57.4% to 62.6%, widening Kelly’s state advantage from 9.3 to 17.4 points. The school’s lead over the district stayed close, shifting from 2.7 to 2.5 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking also rose from 66th of 144 schools in 2021–2022 (54th percentile, three stars) to 11th of 148 in 2025–2026 (93rd percentile, five stars). The school has 39 students, a student–teacher ratio of 8.6:1, and 7.7% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, all useful context but not an explanation for its results. Some grade-level scores are suppressed, including Kelly’s 2025–2026 third-grade ELA result, so the 2024–2025 third-grade score cannot establish a year-to-year trend.
