High Schools in Uinta County School District #1

Uinta County School District #1 in Wyoming is home to two high schools: Evanston High School and Horizon Alternative School. While Evanston High School is the larger of the two with 776 students, Horizon Alternative School serves a smaller population of 43 students. Evanston High School generally performs around the state average on standardized tests and has a 4-year graduation rate of 81.6%, which is the same as Horizon Alternative School.

Evanston High School has a higher statewide ranking, typically placing in the top half of Wyoming high schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Horizon Alternative School has a lower statewide ranking, typically placing in the bottom quarter of Wyoming high schools, with a 1-star rating. However, Horizon Alternative School's significantly lower proficiency rates on WY-TOPP assessments, particularly in Mathematics and Science, suggest it may be serving a unique population of students with specialized needs.

The data also reveals a significant difference in spending per student between the two schools, with Evanston High School spending $16,248 per student and Horizon Alternative School spending $31,373 per student. This suggests that the Uinta County School District #1 may be allocating more resources to support the smaller, alternative school, likely due to the specialized needs of its student population.
