Summary:

Park County School District # 1 has seven schools, from elementary through high school, serving 1,778 students in Park County, Wyoming; the list includes four elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools. Its schools generally post proficiency rates above Wyoming’s, and SchoolDigger ranks the district 6th of 44 schools, at the 86th percentile with four stars. The most important trend is that the average school advantage over the state narrowed from 11.8 percentage points in 2024–2025 to 8.7 points in 2025–2026.

Among elementary schools, Westside Elementary stands out in ELA, leading reported grade 3 results at 66.0% and grade 5 at 85.2%; its grade 5 score is 20.5 points above Southside Elementary at 64.7%. Parkside Elementary leads reported elementary math in grades 3 and 5, with 77.1% and 75.0%, respectively. Southside has the lowest reported ELA scores in grades 3 and 5, but its math results are above state rates, so its results vary by subject. Powell Middle School and Powell High School are above state rates in every reported current comparison; Powell Middle’s largest lead is 20.4 points in grade 6 ELA, while Powell High’s is 15.9 points in grade 9 math.

Recent results are mixed rather than uniformly rising: average scores across matched subjects and grades fell 4.4 points at Powell Middle and 5.5 at Westside, while they rose 4.2 at Parkside and 2.6 at Southside. SchoolDigger rankings also tell a different story from individual subject scores: Southside rose from the 56th to 64th percentile, while Westside moved from the 94th to 76th and Powell Middle from the 92nd to 75th; Powell High stayed comparatively steady, at the 82nd percentile in 2025–2026. Reported 2024–2025 free/reduced-lunch eligibility was 39.2% at Westside, 58.5% at Southside, and 63.9% at Parkside, useful context but not an explanation of achievement. Clark’s grade 4 scores are suppressed, and Shoshone’s grade 10 results are reported only as under 20%, so neither can be precisely ranked from these results.
