Summary

Park Elementary serves 344 students in grades K–5 in Casper, within Natrona County School District #1. Its results vary sharply by grade: third and fifth graders often do well, while fourth graders lag across subjects. The clearest concern is fourth-grade science, where 42% of students were proficient—below every nearby school’s result.

Park’s strongest results are in ELA: its average across third, fourth and fifth grades was 60%, compared with 57% for the state, 56% for the district and 55% for nearby schools. Third- and fifth-grade ELA and math results also exceeded state results, while fourth grade was much weaker. In fourth grade, 40% were proficient in ELA, 43% in math and 42% in science; those results were 13, 19 and 15 percentage points below the state, respectively. Math overall was close to the nearby-school average, but fourth-grade science stood out as a pronounced weakness.

Recent results show improvement in ELA and math, but not science: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, Park’s three-grade ELA average rose by 21 percentage points and its math average by 14, while fourth-grade science fell by 3 points. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking rose from the 30th percentile in 2024–25 to the 46th in 2025–26, earning 2 stars; Park ranked fifth among itself and ten nearby schools, but remains below its earlier 76th-percentile standing in 2018–19. In 2024–25, its student-teacher ratio was 15.2, higher than the 12.9 average at nine other same-district schools, and 36% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with a 56% average at those schools. SchoolDigger’s ranking for “Low Socio Economic Status Students” was at the 14th percentile, well below Park’s 46th-percentile overall ranking; its “Hispanic Students” ranking was at the 64th percentile, up from the 38th percentile in 2024–25. These rankings describe SchoolDigger’s reported school standings for groups, not individual students’ progress.
