Summary:
Carbon County School District #1 has two high schools, both serving grades 9–12: Rawlins High School and Victory High School. The clearest comparison is in 2025–2026 grade 10 results, available for both schools. Rawlins had 62.3% proficient in English language arts (ELA), 47.0% in math and 60.5% in science; Victory recorded 28.6% in ELA and science and under 20% in math. The most important finding is the sharp divide: Rawlins was above state proficiency in all three subjects, while Victory was below it in all three.
Rawlins stands out at the top of the two-school comparison, outperforming Victory by 33.7 percentage points in ELA, 31.9 points in science and more than 27 points in math. Its grade 10 results also exceeded state rates by 7.6 points in ELA, 7.2 in science and 2.0 in math. Graduation results reinforce the contrast: in 2024–2025, Rawlins graduated 90.4% of students, compared with 41.9% at Victory; the state rate was 83.1%. SchoolDigger ranked Rawlins 42nd of 81 statewide (48th percentile) and Victory 74th (9th percentile) in 2025–2026.
Rawlins’ recent results are mixed, with a notable grade 10 ELA improvement but declines across several other measures: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, grade 10 ELA rose 10.8 points, while grade 9 ELA fell 14.0 points, grade 10 math fell 3.6, grade 9 math fell 19.9 and grade 10 science fell 1.3. Across those five comparisons, its average proficiency decreased 5.6 points as the state average increased 2.9. School context differs too: enrollment is 436 at Rawlins and 28 at Victory; reported student-teacher ratios are 15 and 7, respectively. Free/reduced-lunch eligibility is 35.8% at Rawlins and 57.1% at Victory, an observed difference that does not establish a cause for outcomes. Victory’s small enrollment and lack of comparable prior-year test results warrant care when interpreting its results and trends.
