Summary

Big Piney High School is a public high school serving 157 students in grades 9-12 in Big Piney, Wyoming, which is part of the Sublette County School District #9. The school's performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 16th and 56th out of 81-83 Wyoming high schools in recent years and an overall 2-4 star rating from SchoolDigger.

While female and Hispanic students at Big Piney High School have consistently performed well, ranking in the top 15-23 and as high as 7th out of 55-64 and 30 Wyoming high schools, respectively, the performance of white students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds has been in the middle to lower range. The school's four-year graduation rates have also been variable, ranging from 81.4% to 96.4%. Academically, the school has shown strengths in mathematics and science but has had more uneven performance in English language arts compared to district and state averages.

Despite a decrease in per-student spending over the past few years, Big Piney High School has maintained a relatively stable student-teacher ratio. The school's administration and the district should focus on addressing the factors contributing to the fluctuations in the school's performance, building on the strengths of specific student groups, and ensuring more consistent academic achievement across all subject areas to provide the best possible educational experience for all students.
