Summary:
ZIP code 82054 has one listed school, Carpenter Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 6 with 69 students in Laramie County School District #2. The most important finding is that results differ sharply by subject even within the same grade: fourth-grade math and science were above Wyoming’s rates, while fourth-grade ELA was well below.
Because Carpenter is the only school in the ZIP code, there are no separate schools to identify as top or bottom performers. Within Carpenter, fourth-grade science and math stand out positively: 70% were proficient in each, compared with 56.2% statewide in science and 62.6% in math—a 13.8- and 7.4-point advantage. Fourth-grade ELA is the clearest concern: 30% were proficient, 22.6 points below the state’s 52.6%. Results also vary by grade: third- through fifth-grade ELA ranged from 30% to 57.1%, and math from 42.9% to 70%.
Recent results are mixed rather than consistently improving or declining. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, fourth-grade math and science proficiency each rose 20 points, while third-grade ELA fell 20 points; fourth-grade ELA fell 7.5 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking rose from the 5th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 47th in 2024–2025, then eased to the 36th in 2025–2026; its star ratings were 0, 2 and 2. Carpenter’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 7.6, and 46.4% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch; these figures provide context, not an explanation for results. Only one school is listed for comparison, and 2025–2026 grade 6 ELA and math results are suppressed.
