Summary

Ft. Washakie Elementary is an elementary school located in Fort Washakie, Wyoming, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 260 students. The school is part of the Fremont County School District #21, which is ranked 41 out of 43 districts in Wyoming and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Ft. Washakie Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Wyoming elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's high per-student spending, ranging from $35,915 to $48,494 over the past few years, and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7 to 7.5 students per teacher, Ft. Washakie Elementary has consistently performed significantly below the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade proficiency rates were 20.6% in ELA and 20.6% in Math, compared to the state averages of 53.1% and 58.2%, respectively. The nearby schools, such as Arapahoe Elementary, Wind River Elementary, Gannett Peak Elementary, and Baldwin Creek Elementary, generally perform better academically than Ft. Washakie Elementary, even though they serve similar student populations and have lower per-student spending.

The extremely high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Ft. Washakie Elementary, with 91.15% to 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years, raises concerns about educational equity and the ability of the school to provide a high-quality education to its students. The persistent low academic performance, despite the high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's challenges. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems for students may be necessary to identify and address the root causes of the persistent low performance.
