Summary

Rock Springs Junior High serves 746 students in grades 7–8 in Rock Springs, Wyoming, as part of Sweetwater County School District #1. In 2025–26, its proficiency rates were below the state and district in every reported grade and subject. The most important concern is that math is the school’s weakest subject, particularly in grade 8.

Compared with nearby Lincoln Middle School, Rock Springs’ largest gaps are in math: its grades 7–8 average was 35% proficient, versus 64% at Lincoln, 36% in the district and 53% statewide. In ELA, Rock Springs averaged 47%, about 12 points below both Lincoln and the state, and 1 point below the district. Its strongest comparison is 8th-grade science: 37% proficient, less than 1 point below the district, though 11 points below the state and 20 below Lincoln. Lincoln is the only nearby school serving the same tested grades; the nearby elementary schools are not grade-for-grade comparisons.

Results have declined since 2022–23 while state scores held steady or rose: 7th-grade math fell 19 points and 7th-grade ELA fell 16, while state results rose 4 and 2 points, respectively. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking fell from the 38th percentile in 2023–24 to the 9th percentile in 2025–26; Rock Springs is ranked 69th of 76 schools with 1 star, compared with Lincoln’s 31st-place ranking, 59th percentile and 3 stars. Rock Springs’ 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 15.4, and 47% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One subgroup result stands out: SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Virtual Education Students rose from 9 in 2021–22 to 83 in 2023–24, compared with the school’s overall percentiles of 34 and 38; the small comparison pools mean subgroup ranking changes may be volatile.
