Summary

Sunset Elementary is a public elementary school in Cody, Wyoming, serving 299 students in grades K-5. It is part of the Park County School District #6, which is ranked 11th out of 43 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Sunset Elementary has consistently performed well on the WY-TOPP assessments, with several grade levels exceeding the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th-grade students achieved 70% proficiency in ELA and 76% proficiency in Mathematics, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's performance has been relatively stable, though there have been some fluctuations. Sunset Elementary also serves a diverse student population effectively, with strong performance across different subgroups, except for students with disabilities, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Glenn Livingston Elementary and Eastside Elementary, Sunset Elementary's performance is generally on par or slightly below. Glenn Livingston Elementary, in particular, has consistently outperformed Sunset Elementary on the WY-TOPP assessments and has a higher statewide ranking. Despite these fluctuations, Sunset Elementary's overall strong academic performance, relatively low student-teacher ratio, and high per-student spending suggest that it is a high-quality educational institution that is effectively meeting the needs of its students.
