Summary

West Side Elementary is a public elementary school in Worland, Wyoming, serving 185 students in grades 4-5 and part of the Washakie County School District #1. This school consistently outperforms the state average in academic proficiency, particularly in core subject areas like English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

West Side Elementary's strong academic performance is evident in its high proficiency rates, which in the 2024-2025 school year reached 58.5% in 4th grade ELA, 65.9% in 5th grade ELA, 70.8% in 4th grade Math, and 69.2% in 4th grade Science - all significantly higher than the state averages. The school's performance has remained relatively stable over the past few years, indicating its ability to provide a high-quality education. Additionally, West Side Elementary performs particularly well for certain student subgroups, such as female students and Hispanic students, who rank in the top quartile of Wyoming elementary schools in their respective categories.

While West Side Elementary's overall academic performance is impressive, the school faces challenges in supporting its special education students, ranking in the bottom quartile of Wyoming elementary schools for this subgroup. This finding suggests that the school may need to evaluate its special education program and identify ways to better meet the learning needs of these students. Interestingly, West Side Elementary is located in close proximity to two other elementary schools within the same district, South Side Elementary and East Side Elementary, which also perform well academically, but West Side Elementary stands out with its consistently higher proficiency rates, particularly in Math and Science.
