Summary

In the small Wyoming community of Upton, Upton High School serves 79 students in grades 9–12. Its most important finding is the sharp difference between grades: ninth-grade English is a major strength, while tenth-grade English and math results are below state averages.

In 2025–2026, 86% of Upton ninth-graders were proficient in English language arts, compared with 56% statewide and 52% at Moorcroft Secondary School. Upton was also stronger in tenth-grade science, at 65% versus 53% statewide and 54% at Moorcroft. But Upton trailed both in tenth-grade English (45%, versus 55% statewide and 49% at Moorcroft) and math (35%, versus 45% and 46%). Ninth-grade math was 3.6 points below the state and 20.7 points below Moorcroft. Upton’s reported test results match those of Weston County School District #7, though SchoolDigger rates the district at the 20th percentile with 1 star, compared with Upton at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars. Graduation is another positive: Upton’s 2024–2025 rate was 91%, above the state’s 83% and Moorcroft’s 89%.

Results over time are mixed: ninth-grade English proficiency rose from 74% in 2022–2023 to 86% in 2025–2026, while tenth-grade English fell from 68% to 45% and tenth-grade math from 47% to 35%. Tenth-grade science remains above the state, but its advantage narrowed from 32 points to 12. SchoolDigger ranks Upton 39th of 81 Wyoming high schools; its percentile has fallen from 80 in 2022–2023 to 52, while Moorcroft is at 57, with 3 stars. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well the school serves female students also dropped sharply, from the 76th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 47th in 2025–2026. Upton’s student–teacher ratio was 7, compared with 12.8 at Moorcroft in 2024–2025. Upton reported 22% of students as free/reduced lunch eligible in 2022–2023; Moorcroft’s 44% figure is from a different school year, so the two are not a like-year comparison.
