Summary

Ft. Caspar Academy is a K–5 elementary school with 356 students in Casper, in Natrona County School District #1. Its strongest overall results are in English language arts (ELA) and math, but the most important finding is that fourth-grade science is a clear weakness.

In 2025–2026, the school’s average proficiency across grades 3–5 was 67% in ELA and 76% in math, above state averages of 57% and 62%, district averages of 56% and 63%, and nearby-school averages of 54% and 62%. Math stands out: fifth-grade proficiency was 84%, the highest among nearby schools reporting that grade. Fourth-grade science was much weaker: 49% were proficient, compared with 56% statewide, 57% districtwide, and a 56% nearby-school average. That placed the school seventh among the 11 nearby schools.

Results have shifted over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, the school’s average ELA proficiency fell 4 percentage points, math fell 2 points, and fourth-grade science fell 11 points. The school remains a strong local performer: SchoolDigger ranks it 37th of 148 statewide, at the 75th percentile with four stars, and third among nearby schools with rankings. That percentile is 18 points below its 2023–2024 peak of 93, while still 48 points above the district’s 27th percentile. Context for families: the student-teacher ratio was 12.7 in 2024–2025, and 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves Hispanic students is notably high at the 95th percentile, compared with 75th overall; it rose from the 41st percentile the previous year. Its ranking for how well it serves Special Education Students is 58th percentile, up from 2nd the previous year but below the overall ranking.
