Summary
Eastside Elementary in Rock Springs, Wyoming, serves 541 students in grades 4–6. It is one of four nearby schools in the comparisons, alongside Pilot Butte Elementary, Lincoln Middle School and Rock Springs Junior High. The most important finding for families is that Eastside’s proficiency rates were below the district and state in every reported grade and subject in 2025–26.
