Summary

Lander Valley High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Lander, Wyoming, with a total enrollment of 558 students. The school is part of the Fremont County School District #1, which is ranked 31 out of 43 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lander Valley High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 10th out of 73 Wyoming high schools in 2017-2018 (with a 4-star rating) to 48th out of 83 schools in 2024-2025 (with a 2-star rating). The school performs relatively well for its Hispanic and Native American student populations, ranking 8th and 3rd out of Wyoming high schools, respectively, in 2024-2025. However, the school struggles with its male, multi-racial, special education, and low socioeconomic status student groups, ranking in the bottom half of Wyoming high schools for these subgroups. Lander Valley High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 80.4% and 88.8% over the past few years, which is generally on par with or slightly below the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Arapahoe Charter High School, Wyoming Indian High School, and Ft. Washakie High School, Lander Valley High School is a relatively stronger-performing school within its local area. However, the school's declining statewide ranking and uneven subgroup outcomes warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying challenges and leverage the school's existing strengths.
