Summary

Wind River High School is a public high school serving 129 students in grades 9-12 in Pavillion, Wyoming, which is part of the Fremont County School District #6. The school has shown a mixed academic performance, with fluctuating statewide rankings and variable proficiency rates on standardized tests, particularly in Mathematics.

One of the school's strengths is its ability to serve diverse student populations effectively. Wind River High School has shown strong performance for its Native American and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking highly among their respective peer groups. The school's graduation rates have also remained relatively stable in recent years. However, the school's performance for its female and male students has been more variable, an area that could benefit from further exploration.

Compared to nearby schools, Wind River High School performs significantly better than Ft. Washakie High School and Wyoming Indian High School, which are part of other school districts and have much lower statewide rankings and academic performance. The nearby Wind River Learning Academy, which is part of the same district, has a similar academic profile to Wind River High School.
