Summary

Star Valley Middle School serves 428 students in grades 7–8 in Afton, Wyoming. It earns a 5-star rating and ranks 4th of 76 statewide in SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings. Its clearest strength is achievement: the school’s latest results are above Wyoming’s proficiency rates in English language arts, math, and science.

Compared with the state, Star Valley’s averages are about 17 percentage points higher in ELA and math and 14 points higher in science. Its results are much closer to those of Lincoln County School District #2: ELA proficiency is 76% at the school and 75% in the district, while math is 70.2% and 70.0%, respectively. Grade 8 science is the exception, at 62% for Star Valley versus 63% for the district. The supplied nearby schools, Etna Elementary and Osmond Elementary, serve different grades, so their test results are not like-for-like comparisons.

Results have improved over the four years shown, especially in math: average proficiency rose about 10 percentage points, compared with 5 points in ELA and 4 in science. The latest year was less consistent: ELA fell about 3 points and science 4, while math rose 3. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile climbed from 74 in 2018–2019 to 95 in 2025–2026. Its statewide ranking for how well it serves special education students is lower, at the 67th percentile, down from 82 in 2024–2025; its Hispanic student ranking rose from the 76th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 94th in 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 15.5, higher than Etna’s 11.5 and Osmond’s 14.7. Free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 34.4% of enrollment that year, compared with 33.9% at Etna and 32.4% at Osmond.
