Summary
Deming Elementary is a small school in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving 96 students in kindergarten through fourth grade in Laramie County School District #1. Its results differ sharply by grade: third-grade scores are stronger, but fourth grade is the clearest concern. In 2025–26, fourth-grade proficiency was 30% in ELA and math and 15% in science, below both state and district results in all three subjects.
Deming Elementary’s strongest results are in third-grade math: 71% proficient, compared with 61% statewide, 57% in the district and a 53% average at nearby schools. Third-grade ELA was 57%, slightly above the state’s 56% and district’s 54%, and 4 percentage points above the nearby average. Fourth grade, by contrast, was below state and district results by 23 points in ELA, 33 in math and 41 in science. Among nearby schools, Deming Elementary ranked third-lowest in fourth-grade ELA, second-lowest in math and lowest in science.
Third-grade math improved from 50% in 2022–23 to 71% in 2025–26, while ELA rose from 55% to 57%; ELA’s lead over the state narrowed over that period. SchoolDigger ranks the school 121st of 148 Wyoming schools, at the 18th percentile with 1 star; its district ranks 26th of 44, at the 41st percentile with 2 stars. Enrollment is the lowest among the 10 nearby schools, and its 15.1:1 student–teacher ratio is the highest; nearby ratios range from 8.0:1 to 14.8:1. The school reported 43% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25, compared with a nearby average of 46%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for White students was at the 1st percentile, while its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students was at the 40th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 18th percentile. Because enrollment is small and no prior fourth-grade or science results are supplied, those results may fluctuate and trends cannot be assessed.
