Public Grades K-8

SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 149 Wyoming Elementary Schools

Better than 11% of Wyoming elementary schools

Summary

Woods Learning Center is an elementary school located in Casper, Wyoming, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 175 students. It is part of the Natrona County School District #1, which is ranked 36 out of 43 districts in Wyoming and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively high per-student spending of around $18,000 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.5, Woods Learning Center consistently performs below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 31.6% to 42.1%, compared to the district's 53.4% to 59% and the state's 53.1% to 61.4%. The school's performance for female and male students is also consistently lower than the state averages, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of Wyoming elementary schools for these subgroups.

Interestingly, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status (SES) students is more promising, ranking in the top 25-35% of Wyoming elementary schools in recent years. This suggests that the school may be effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged students, but struggling to address the needs of the broader student population. Additionally, Woods Learning Center's academic performance is significantly lower than most of the nearby schools in the Natrona County School District, such as Southridge Elementary, Verda James Elementary, and Summit Elementary, which consistently rank in the top 50-60 elementary schools in Wyoming.
