Summary:
Carbon County School District #1 has one middle school, Rawlins Middle School, which serves grades 6–8. Its 308 students have a mixed achievement picture: mathematics is relatively close to Wyoming results, while ELA and especially science are further behind. The most important finding is that grade 8 science proficiency is the largest current gap: 34.6% at Rawlins, compared with 48.1% statewide.
Because Rawlins is the only school in the area list, it is both the top and bottom reference point rather than a school that can be ranked against local peers. Its standout result is grade 7 mathematics, where 55.0% were proficient in 2025–2026—2.1 percentage points above the state. Its weakest result is grade 8 science, 13.5 points below the state. Across grades, Rawlins averaged 51.3% in mathematics versus 54.6% statewide, and 50.6% in ELA versus 59.4%, so the stronger math performance does not carry over to ELA.
Results improved substantially in mathematics but declined in ELA from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026. The equal-grade math average rose 14.0 points, from 37.4% to 51.3%, led by a 24.1-point increase in grade 7; ELA’s average fell 2.2 points, from 52.8% to 50.6%, with the largest drop in grade 6. Grade 8 science slipped slightly, from 35.9% to 34.6%. SchoolDigger ranks Rawlins 56th of 76 schools, in the 26th percentile with one star, improving from 64th of 77 and the 17th percentile the prior year. The school reports a student–teacher ratio of 11.7 and 43.2% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025; these are context, not explanations of results.
