Summary:

The 82240 zip code area is home to two high schools: Torrington High School and Platte River School, both serving grades 9-12 and part of the Goshen County School District #1. While Torrington High School is the larger of the two with 325 students, Platte River School's smaller size of 31 students may allow for a more personalized educational approach.

Torrington High School has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, ranging from 47th out of 83 schools in 2024-2025 to 62nd out of 80 schools in 2023-2024, indicating inconsistent performance. Both schools had a 81.6% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024, slightly below the state average. Torrington High School's test scores on the WY-TOPP assessments show mixed performance compared to district and state averages, with higher proficiency in 9th grade Math but lower proficiency in 10th grade English Language Arts.

Torrington High School has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 45.54% in 2023-2024, suggesting a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This, combined with the school's mixed academic performance, raises questions about equity and the availability of resources and support for these students. In contrast, Platte River School's smaller student-teacher ratio of 11.2 compared to Torrington High School's 12.2 may provide a more personalized educational experience for its students.
