Summary:
Fremont County School District #6 in Wyoming has only one middle school, Wind River Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 48th out of 74 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 68th out of 77 in 2024-2025. Wind River Middle School is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.
Wind River Middle School's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the state averages for Wyoming. In 2024-2025, the school's 8th grade proficiency rates were 55% in ELA, 35% in Math, and 45% in Science, compared to state averages of 61.4%, 49.8%, and 49.3%, respectively. Additionally, over 54% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $24,490 in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average, and its low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1, Wind River Middle School's academic performance remains below state averages. This suggests that simply spending more money or having smaller class sizes may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes at the school. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of the school's challenges and develop targeted strategies for improvement.
