Summary

Wyoming Classical Academy is a public charter elementary school located in Mills, Wyoming, serving 218 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Wyoming Classical Academy District, which is ranked 37 out of 43 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

According to the data, Wyoming Classical Academy has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby public schools, such as Crest Hill Elementary, Sagewood Elementary, and Ft. Caspar Academy, on the WY-TOPP assessments. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally below the state average across all grade levels.

The school's declining statewide ranking, from 108 out of 147 Wyoming elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 97 out of 149 in 2024-2025, and its overall rating from SchoolDigger, which has decreased from 1 star to 2 stars out of 5, are also concerning trends. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 16.7 is higher than the nearby public schools in the Natrona County School District, and the lack of available data on per-student spending makes it difficult to determine if the school is allocating resources effectively to support student learning.
