Summary:

The 82071 zip code is home to a single standout elementary school, the UW Laboratory School, which serves grades K-8 and is part of the Albany County School District #1. This school has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in Wyoming, placing 29th out of 146 schools in the 2022-2023 school year and 51st out of 147 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

The UW Laboratory School's academic performance is impressive, with test scores on the WY-TOPP assessments that are significantly higher than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 83.3% of 6th graders at the school were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 72.5% for the district and 58.1% for the state. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 25.76% in the 2023-2024 school year, and it spends $16,629 per student, which is higher than the state average.

One of the key factors contributing to the UW Laboratory School's success is its low student-teacher ratio of 12.2, which allows for more individualized attention and support for students. While the school's strong academic performance is commendable, the relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch may raise questions about equity and access to high-quality education for all students in the district.
