Summary:
Carbon County School District #1 includes five schools serving grades PK–12, with 1,633 students across Carbon County, Wyoming. Families will find very different results depending on the school, grade and subject: the clearest overall academic standout is Little Snake River Valley School.
Little Snake River Valley School leads all eight available math grade comparisons for 2025–2026, and its Grade 8 math result of 84.6% is 35.1 percentage points above Rawlins Middle School’s 49.5%; its Grade 8 science result is at least 55.4 points higher. At the other end, Victory High School has the lowest available Grade 10 results in ELA, math and science: its ELA score of 28.6% trails Little Snake River Valley by at least 51.4 points, and its math score is under 20%. Results vary within schools, too: Rawlins High School is above the state in Grade 10 ELA and science, while its Grade 9 math is below. SchoolDigger ranks Rawlins High School 42nd of 81 schools (48th percentile, 2 stars), compared with Victory High School at 74th of 81 (9th percentile, 0 stars).
Recent changes are mixed rather than a district-wide rise: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Rawlins Middle School’s average state gap improved by about 3.1 points, while Rawlins High School’s worsened by about 8.5 points; Rawlins Elementary changed little on average. Graduation rates also distinguish the high schools: 100.0% at Little Snake River Valley, 90.4% at Rawlins High and 41.9% at Victory, against 83.1% statewide. School size and other context do not follow a simple achievement pattern: Victory has the smallest enrollment (28) and lowest student–teacher ratio (7.0), while its results are lowest; its free/reduced-lunch eligibility share is 57.1%, compared with 26.7% at Little Snake River Valley. Some reported scores are bounds rather than exact percentages, and Victory’s small enrollment is worth keeping in mind.
