Summary:
Fremont County School District #21 in Wyoming has only one high school, Ft. Washakie High School, which has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in the state over the past three school years. The school faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high rates of economic disadvantage, and a need for more effective resource allocation.
Ft. Washakie High School has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 80th out of 80 high schools in Wyoming.

Despite the school's relatively small student population and low student-to-teacher ratio, which could present opportunities for more personalized interventions, the school's four-year graduation rate of 81.6% remains below the state average.
The high percentage of students (100%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at Ft. Washakie High School indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's persistent low performance. Additionally, the school district, Fremont County School District #21, is ranked 41st out of 43 districts in Wyoming, further highlighting the challenges faced by the school. While the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $47,363, the continued poor academic outcomes suggest a need for more effective resource allocation and targeted interventions to support student learning.
