Summary

Oregon Trail Elementary is a K–5 school serving 272 students in Casper, in Natrona County School District #1. Its latest results show a strong improvement, and it now stands above state and district averages in ELA, math, and science. The clearest strength is grade 4 science: 76% of students were proficient, compared with 57% districtwide and 56% statewide.

Science also stands out against nearby schools: Oregon Trail had the second-highest grade 4 result among 11 schools, behind Sagewood Elementary at 82%. Its ELA and math averages across grades 3–5 were 60% and 67%, above nearby-school averages of 56% and 63%. The grade pattern is less even in math: grade 3 was 58%, below the district’s 60% and state’s 61%, while grade 4 was 74% and grade 5 was 68%. So the school’s strongest distinction is science; grade 3 math is the clearest area of relative weakness.

Results have risen over the four years shown: ELA increased from an average of 38% to 60%, math from 51% to 67%, and science from 41% to 76%. SchoolDigger’s ranking rose from the 22nd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 68th in 2025–2026; it now ranks 48th of 148 Wyoming schools and has 3 stars. Its statewide ranking for how effectively it serves special education students was much lower, at the 23rd percentile in 2025–2026, down from the 77th the prior year. By contrast, its ranking for serving female students rose to the 79th percentile, up from the 32nd in 2024–2025. As context, the student-teacher ratio was 14.7:1 in 2024–2025, versus a 13.9:1 average at nearby district schools; 49% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby district-school average of 51%.
