Summary:
Zip code 82072 has one listed middle school, Laramie Middle School, serving grades 6–8 in Laramie, within Albany County School District #1. With no other middle schools in the list, parents cannot compare local schools against one another; the most useful comparisons are with Wyoming results for the same grade and subject. In 2025–2026, Laramie scored above the state in all seven reported grade-subject results.
Laramie Middle School is both the highest- and lowest-ranked school in this one-school list by default, so that distinction does not indicate how it compares with other area schools. Its clearest standout is upper-grade math: eighth-grade proficiency was 76.8%, 22.9 percentage points above the state’s 53.9%, while seventh-grade math was 71.3%, 18.4 points higher. The smallest advantage was in sixth-grade math, where 58.2% was just 1.3 points above the state. ELA was also above state results in grades 6–8, with gaps of 9.2–14.0 points; eighth-grade science was 15.5 points higher.
Results changed unevenly between the two years, so the latest scores do not show across-the-board improvement: ELA fell in each grade, including a 5.5-point drop in grade 7, while math rose 6.8 points in grade 7 and 12.6 points in grade 8 but fell 5.6 points in grade 6. The grade 6 math gap narrowed as the state result rose, while the grade 8 gap widened. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from 12th of 74 schools (4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 8th of 76 (5 stars) in 2025–2026, though that overall ranking coexists with mixed subject trends. Other context: enrollment was 735, the 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 14.3, and 34.7% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
