Summary

Goins Elementary serves 299 students in pre-K through grade 6 in Cheyenne, within Laramie County School District #1. The most important finding is that in 2025–26, Goins’s proficiency rates were below the district and state in every reported grade and subject.

ELA is Goins’s closest subject to district and state results, while math is the weakest comparison. Across four reported grades, ELA proficiency averaged 26%, 28 percentage points below the district and 32 below the state; math averaged 23%, 33 points below the district and 38 below the state. Fourth-grade science proficiency was 22%, 31 points below the district and 35 below the state. Goins also trailed nearby schools in every same-grade comparison: its fifth-grade math rate was 8%, compared with a nearby-school mean of 56%, and its sixth-grade ELA rate—the school’s strongest grade-level result—was 41%, versus a nearby mean of 63%.

Results have improved from a low point in 2023–24, but the gains are uneven: the four-grade ELA average rose 6 percentage points and math rose 12 points by 2025–26, while fourth-grade science gained 7 points. SchoolDigger ranks Goins 145th of 148 Wyoming schools, at the 2nd percentile with zero stars; it is at the bottom of the nearby group by percentile. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students measure also fell, from the 27th percentile in 2017–18 to the 3rd percentile in 2025–26, indicating a much weaker relative standing in how well the school serves that group. In 2024–25, Goins’s student–teacher ratio was 11.7, about the same as the nearby average, while 68% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a nearby average of 57%. Annual scores reflect different cohorts, so they do not track the same students over time.
