Wind River Elementary is a public elementary school located in Pavillion, Wyoming, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 154 students. The school is part of the Fremont County School District #6, which is ranked 28 out of 43 districts in Wyoming and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wind River Elementary has shown fluctuating academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 40th to 121st out of 144-154 Wyoming elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 67th out of 149 Wyoming elementary schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics has been mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. Notably, the school's Native American students have performed exceptionally well, ranking 1st out of 3 Wyoming elementary schools in 2022-2023 and 2nd out of 5 in 2020-2021 and 2021-2022.

In comparison, the nearby Wyoming Indian Elementary and Ft. Washakie Elementary schools, both part of the Fremont County School District #14 and Fremont County School District #21, respectively, have consistently performed significantly lower than Wind River Elementary and the state average in academic assessments. These nearby schools serve a higher proportion of Native American students and have significantly higher percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, which may contribute to their lower academic performance.
