Summary:
The Fremont County School District #21 in Wyoming operates three schools: Ft. Washakie Elementary, Ft. Washakie High School, and Ft. Washakie Middle School. Despite the district's high per-student spending and small class sizes, the academic performance of these schools is significantly below the state average across key metrics.
Test scores at all three schools lag far behind state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, only 20.6% of 3rd graders at Ft. Washakie Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%. The district's 4-year graduation rate of 81.6% at Ft. Washakie High School is also below the state average. Additionally, the schools have extremely high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 91.15% at the elementary school to 100% at the middle and high schools.
Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the Fremont County School District #21 are struggling to provide a high-quality education to their students. Despite the district's significant investment in resources, the academic outcomes remain very poor, with all three schools ranking in the bottom 10-15% of their respective categories statewide. Addressing the broader social and economic challenges facing the community may be crucial for driving meaningful improvements in student learning and achievement.
