Summary:

The city of Sheridan, Wyoming is home to 9 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Sheridan County School District #2. This high-performing district is ranked 5th out of 43 districts in the state and is rated 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools stand out as top performers in the district. Sheridan High School is ranked 5th out of 83 high schools in Wyoming and has a 4-year graduation rate of 81.6%. Sheridan Junior High School is ranked 5th out of 77 middle schools, with strong test scores across all grade levels. At the elementary level, Highland Park Elementary and Henry A. Coffeen Elementary stand out, ranking 13th and 8th out of 149 elementary schools in the state, respectively.

The schools in Sheridan generally perform above state averages, with high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios. However, there is a significant gap in performance between the top-ranked schools and the lower-ranked ones, such as John C. Schiffer Collaborative School and The Wright Place. This suggests that while the district as a whole is strong, there may be opportunities to further support student success across all schools.
