Summary:
Washakie County School District #1 includes six schools serving kindergarten through grade 12, with 1,092 students across three elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools. The clearest area-wide takeaway is that most exact 2025–2026 proficiency results were above state averages, but results differed sharply between the two high schools in grade 10.
Worland High School stands out in grade 10: proficiency was 72.9% in ELA, 62.9% in math and 62.9% in science, respectively 18.2, 17.9 and 9.6 percentage points above state rates. By contrast, White Hawk Academy reported under 20% in all three subjects, leaving Worland High more than 52.9 points ahead in ELA and more than 42.9 points ahead in math and science. West Side Elementary had notable elementary results: 79.4% proficiency in fifth-grade math, 18.4 points above the state, and 68.5% in fourth-grade science, 12.3 points above. Worland High also had the highest reported exact ELA score, 76% in ninth grade—20.4 points above the state.
Results improved in most matched comparisons: 16 of 19 school-grade-subject scores rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, averaging a 9.0-point increase, while the average school advantage over the state widened from 5.7 to 11.6 points. SchoolDigger rankings also improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Worland High moved from 34th to 10th, Worland Middle School from 33rd to 18th, and West Side from 44th to 28th. School contexts differ: reported student-teacher ratios range from 9.2 at South Side Elementary to 13.6 at Worland Middle; reported free/reduced-lunch eligibility ranges from 41.8% at West Side to 50.3% at East Side Elementary. Worland High’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 88.9%, compared with 87.5% at White Hawk and 83.1% statewide. East Side has no supplied test scores, and White Hawk’s results are reported only as under 20%.
