It is part of the Natrona County School District #1, which is ranked 36 out of 43 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Ft. Caspar Academy has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in Wyoming, ranking in the top 15 for several years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for multiple school years.

Ft. Caspar Academy's academic performance is exceptional, consistently outperforming the district and state averages in proficiency rates for ELA, Math, and Science on the WY-TOPP assessments. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 62.3% compared to 53.4% for the district and 53.1% for the state. The school also performs exceptionally well for its female, male, and white student subgroups, ranking in the top 10-35 among Wyoming elementary schools.
