Summary

Saratoga Elementary serves 166 students in grades K–6 in Saratoga, Wyoming, where there are no other schools within 20 miles. The most important takeaway is the sharp contrast in achievement: fourth grade is a standout, while third grade is the clearest concern.

Fourth-grade results are well above state proficiency rates: 78% of students were proficient in both ELA and math, compared with 53% and 63% statewide. Fourth-grade science proficiency was 72%, versus 56% statewide and 68% in Carbon County School District #2. Third grade is far weaker: 30% were proficient in both ELA and math, trailing state results by 26 and 32 percentage points, respectively. There are no comparable nearby-school scores, so local performance comparisons are not available.

Results have shifted over time, and the school’s average gap to the state has grown in both ELA and math. Across tested grades, the ELA average moved from 56% in 2022–2023, 4 points above the state, to 55% in 2025–2026, 3 points below it; in math, the school’s average rose from 49% to 53%, but its deficit widened from 4 to 8 points. Fourth-grade science rebounded to 72% in 2025–2026 after falling to 42% in 2024–2025. SchoolDigger ranks the school 79th of 148 statewide, at the 47th percentile with 2 stars; the district is at the 48th percentile with 3 stars. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves male students fell from the 40th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 15th in 2025–2026, while its overall percentile rose from 37 to 47. The student-teacher ratio was 8 in 2024–2025, and 37% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch that school year.
