Elementary Schools in Campbell County School District #1

Summary:

The Campbell County School District #1 in Wyoming is home to 17 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The schools vary significantly in size, with student populations ranging from 18 at Recluse School to 560 at Stocktrail Elementary. The district as a whole is ranked 29th out of 43 in Wyoming and is rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating some systemic challenges that need to be addressed.

Several schools within the district stand out for their strong academic performance. Pronghorn Elementary ranks 35th out of 149 Wyoming elementary schools and is rated 4 out of 5 stars, with impressive proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Similarly, Wagonwheel Elementary ranks 24th in the state and is also rated 4 out of 5 stars, boasting high test scores across multiple grade levels. Prairie Wind Elementary, ranked 46th in Wyoming and rated 3 out of 5 stars, also demonstrates strong academic performance.

However, not all schools in the district are performing at the same level. Some, like Lakeview Elementary, Meadowlark Elementary, and Cottonwood Elementary, struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects. This disparity in performance may be linked to socioeconomic factors, as the schools with the highest free and reduced lunch rates tend to have the lowest academic achievement.
