Summary:
The city of Torrington, Wyoming is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the Goshen County School District #1. The schools in Torrington serve a diverse student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.54% at Torrington High School to 58.5% at Lincoln Elementary.
Among the standout schools in Torrington, Torrington Middle School has shown significant improvement, climbing from 61st out of 74 Wyoming middle schools in 2022-2023 to 36th out of 77 in 2024-2025. The school's math proficiency rates are particularly strong, exceeding both the district and state averages. In contrast, Trail Elementary has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom quarter of Wyoming elementary schools in the past three years, with English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates significantly below the district and state averages.
The data also reveals that Torrington High School, the largest high school in the city, has a relatively low 4-year graduation rate of 81.6% compared to the state average, despite its test scores on the WY-TOPP assessments being generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages. The district's investment in its schools, with high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the mixed academic performance across the Torrington school system.
