Summary

Wind River Middle School is a public middle school in Pavillion, Wyoming, serving 85 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Fremont County School District #6, which is ranked 28 out of 43 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Wind River Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wyoming middle schools in terms of overall performance, with proficiency rates on state assessments lagging behind the state average, the school does have some bright spots. Its Native American students have consistently outperformed their peers at the school, ranking 1st to 3rd out of all Wyoming middle schools for this subgroup. However, the school's performance for male students and low socioeconomic status students has been weaker, with rankings in the bottom half of the state.

Interestingly, the two nearest middle schools, Ft. Washakie Middle School and Wyoming Indian Middle School, are both part of lower-performing school districts and have significantly lower performance on state assessments compared to Wind River Middle School. This suggests that while Wind River Middle School faces challenges, it may be performing better than some of its regional counterparts.
