Summary

Pioneer Park Elementary in Cheyenne serves pre-K through grade 6 in Laramie County School District #1 and enrolls 420 students, the largest enrollment among 10 nearby schools. The main takeaway is that its results are strong across subjects and grades, with science its clearest strength and grade 6 ELA the most notable area to watch.

In 2025–26, the school exceeded both state and district proficiency averages in every reported subject and grade. Across grades 3–6, its ELA average was 70%, versus 58% statewide and 54% in the district; its math average was 68%, versus 60% statewide and 56% in the district. Grade 4 science was especially strong at 74%, compared with 56% statewide and 52% in the district. Nearby comparisons also put Pioneer near the top: it ranked second for grade 3–4 ELA, third for grade 3–4 math, and third for grade 4 science. PODER Academy and Alta Vista Elementary outscored it in some comparisons. Grade 6 ELA is a relative weak spot: Pioneer ranked fourth among eight nearby schools serving that grade, though its 63% proficiency was still above the state’s 61%.

Results have been fairly steady rather than consistently rising: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA increased 2 percentage points, math declined 1 point, and science was nearly unchanged. State averages rose, narrowing Pioneer’s lead by 4 points in ELA and 9 in math. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 82nd statewide percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26, down from the 92nd percentile in 2023–24. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well it serves Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 80th percentile in 2023–24 to the 27th in 2025–26; its ranking for how well it serves Special Education Students rose from the 43rd to the 81st percentile between 2024–25 and 2025–26. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 14.8, above the nearby average of 11.7. Also for 2024–25, 35% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby-school average of 52%; these figures provide context, not explanations for test results.
