Summary

Prairie View Community School is an alternative school in Chugwater, Wyoming, serving 90 students in grades PK–12; there are no other schools within 20 miles. Its clearest bright spot is graduation: the school reported a 100% graduation rate in both 2023–2024 and 2024–2025, well above the state rates.

Test results show a different picture: in 2025–2026, most reported grade-level proficiency rates were below state results. Eighth-grade ELA was the exception, at 67% compared with 61% statewide, a 6-point advantage. Math was below the state in all seven grades with school results, including a 40-point gap in grade 5 and a 4-point gap in grade 8. There are no nearby schools to compare, and the listed Prairie View Community School district is the school itself, so its matching figures are not an independent comparison. Grade 10 school test results are suppressed.

Results over time are mixed by grade rather than moving uniformly up or down. Eighth-grade ELA rose 40 points, from 27% in 2024–2025 to 67% in 2025–2026, while grade 3 math fell 15 points; science improved in both comparable grades, including a 20-point rise in grade 4. The reported student-teacher ratio increased from 6.9 in 2023–2024 to 9 in 2024–2025, a rise of 2.1. Nearby-school ratios, SchoolDigger rankings and ratings, and low-income measures were not provided, so they cannot add context for these results.
