Summary

Powell High School serves 573 students in grades 9–12 in Powell, Wyoming, and is part of Park County School District #1. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 94%, close to the district’s 94% and above Wyoming’s 83%. The clearest takeaway for families is that Powell scored above the state in every available grade-and-subject comparison in 2025–26.

ELA is Powell’s strongest tested area against the state: grade 10 proficiency was 70%, 16 percentage points above Wyoming, and grade 9 was 70%, 14 points above. Powell also led the state in mathematics, by 8 points in grade 10 and 16 points in grade 9. Science was its narrowest advantage: grade 10 proficiency was 56%, 3 points above the state, while Lovell High School was slightly higher at 56.4%. Powell generally outscored Lovell and Rocky Mountain High School in ELA and math; exact comparisons with Shoshone Learning Center are limited because its reported grade 10 results were under 20%.

Results have improved from 2022–23 to 2025–26 in grade 10 ELA, math and science, rising by 8, 7 and 10 percentage points, respectively, though scores fluctuated between those years. SchoolDigger ranks Powell 15th of 81 schools, at the 81st percentile and four stars; its 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 16.1. The school’s free/reduced lunch eligible share was 38% in 2024–25, below the nearby-school average of 42%—a descriptive comparison, not an explanation for results. One subgroup result stands out: SchoolDigger placed Hispanic students at the 35th percentile in 2025–26, compared with Powell’s overall 81st percentile, down 57 percentile points from 2023–24.
