Summary

Rocky Mountain High School is a public high school in Cowley, Wyoming, serving 404 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Big Horn County School District #1, which is ranked 22 out of 43 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Rocky Mountain High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 11th out of 81 schools in 2020-2021 to 63rd out of 83 schools in 2024-2025, its overall performance has declined compared to other high schools in Wyoming. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the district and state averages, and its four-year graduation rate, while improving in recent years, remains below the state average.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Powell High School and Lovell High School, which are part of higher-performing school districts, consistently outperform Rocky Mountain High School in terms of statewide rankings, test scores, and graduation rates. Additionally, the school's growing population of students from low-income backgrounds, as indicated by the increase in free and reduced-price lunch rates, may contribute to its academic challenges.
