Summary:
The Park County School District # 1 in Wyoming is home to two high schools: Powell High School and Shoshone Learning Center. Powell High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 13th out of 83 high schools in Wyoming and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Powell High School boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 81.6% and consistently outperforms the district and state averages on WY-TOPP assessments for 9th and 10th grade English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.3 to 1 and spends $17,298 per student, which is higher than the state average. In contrast, Shoshone Learning Center is a smaller, lower-performing school in the district, ranked 73rd out of 79 high schools in Wyoming with a 0-star rating.
While both schools have a similar 4-year graduation rate of 81.6%, Shoshone Learning Center has a higher student-teacher ratio of 22.7 to 1 and significantly higher spending per student at $27,141.
