Summary

Arapahoe Elementary serves pre-K through grade 8 in Arapahoe, Wyoming, and enrolls 392 students. In 2025–26, its proficiency results were below Wyoming averages in all 14 reported subject-and-grade results. Across grades 3–8, average ELA proficiency was 18%, compared with 58% statewide; math was under 10.4%, compared with 58% statewide. Science, reported in grades 4 and 8, averaged under 13.5%, versus 52% statewide. The most important finding is that the school faces broad academic challenges, with math furthest behind the state.

The school’s relative bright spots are grade 8 ELA and grade 5 math, but both remain well below state results: 28% versus 61% in grade 8 ELA, and 26% versus 61% in grade 5 math. Compared with nearby schools, Arapahoe Elementary was lowest in grade 3 ELA among six schools reporting results, at 12%, and its grade 3 math result was under 5%. Its grade 4 science result of 22% was below four nearby schools but above Ft. Washakie Elementary and Wyoming Indian Elementary. The school’s reported district results match its own, so there is no reported school-district difference.

Results have improved in some grades but weakened in others: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, grade 5 ELA rose from 16% to 24%, while grade 8 ELA fell from 37% to 28%; grade 5 math rose from 9% to 26%, while grade 8 math fell to under 5%. Grade 4 science rose by 12 points, from 10% to 22%.
