Summary

Wheatland High School serves 258 students in grades 9–12 in Wheatland, Wyoming, as part of Platte County School District #1. Its 2025–26 WY-TOPP results show a strong 10th-grade science outcome, but a persistent concern in math. The clearest takeaway is the sharp contrast between 67% proficiency in 10th-grade science and 38% in 9th-grade math.

Science is a standout compared with the state, district and nearby school: Wheatland’s 10th-grade result was 13 points above the state’s 53%, 6 points above the district’s 61%, and 38 points above Guernsey-Sunrise High School at 29%. Math needs attention, especially in 9th grade: Wheatland’s 38% was 8 points below the state’s 47%, though it was 1 point above the district’s 37% and 17 points above Guernsey-Sunrise’s 21%. Graduation is another positive: Wheatland’s 2024–25 rate was 88%, above the district’s 81%, the state’s 83%, and Guernsey-Sunrise’s 84%. Peak High School is also nearby, but its current test scores are suppressed.

Over time, science and English language arts have improved, while math has lost ground relative to the state. From 2022–23 to 2025–26, 10th-grade science rose from 48% to 67%, and 9th-grade English language arts rose from 50% to 60%; 10th-grade math fell from 47% to 43%, while 9th-grade math rose only from 36% to 38% as the state’s result increased. SchoolDigger ranks Wheatland 33rd of 81 statewide, at the 59th percentile with 3 stars, down from the 71st percentile and 4 stars in each of the prior two years. Its student-teacher ratio was 11.9 in 2024–25, and 31% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students is notably higher than the overall standing: 86th percentile and 4 stars. Its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 77th percentile in 2023–24 to the 39th percentile in 2025–26.
