Summary

Saddle Ridge Elementary is a public elementary school located in Cheyenne, Wyoming, serving 353 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Laramie County School District #1, which is ranked 32 out of 43 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Saddle Ridge Elementary has shown a mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 35th and 110th out of 144-154 Wyoming elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 80th out of 149 Wyoming elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's performance in mathematics is stronger compared to English Language Arts (ELA) and science, its overall performance is generally below the state and district averages in ELA and mathematics, though it outperforms the district in science for 4th-grade students.

Interestingly, Saddle Ridge's Hispanic students consistently outperform their White counterparts, which is an intriguing finding that warrants further investigation. However, the school struggles with its special education and low socioeconomic status (SES) student populations, ranking 56th and 49th out of 81 and 127 Wyoming elementary schools, respectively, in 2024-2025. Compared to nearby schools, Saddle Ridge's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than other schools in the district, such as Arp Elementary, Lebhart Elementary, and Buffalo Ridge Elementary, but it lags behind the higher-performing Anderson Elementary.
