Summary

C Y Middle School is a public middle school in Casper, Wyoming, serving 776 students in grades 6-8 and part of the Natrona County School District #1. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic proficiency, with 74.5% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 57.1% for the district and 61.4% for the state.

C Y Middle School's strong performance extends across different student subgroups, ranking among the top middle schools in Wyoming for female, male, Hispanic, white, and multi-racial students in English Language Arts proficiency. The school has also shown steady improvement over time, moving from 54th out of 77 Wyoming middle schools in 2013-2014 to 21st out of 77 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding increase in its SchoolDigger rating from 2 to 4 stars.

While C Y Middle School outperforms the district and state, it is not the top-performing school in the immediate vicinity. Centennial Middle School and Casper Classical Academy, both within a 5-mile radius, have higher rankings and proficiency rates in certain subject areas, particularly in mathematics. Additionally, C Y Middle School's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests a more advantaged student population compared to some other schools in the district.
