Summary:
Zip code 82514, in the Ft. Washakie area, has three schools serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12: Ft. Washakie Elementary (PK–6), Ft. Washakie Middle School (7–8) and Ft. Washakie High School (9–12). The clearest concern for families is that every one of the 19 reported 2025–26 school, grade and subject results was below Wyoming’s result for the same grade and subject.
No school is a clear same-grade winner over another, since their tested grades do not overlap; compared with Wyoming, however, high school has the smallest reported gap in a single result: grade 10 math was 16.7%, 28.3 percentage points below the state. The largest gap was at elementary, where grade 5 ELA was under 5% versus 61.3% statewide, and elementary math averages were more than 53.4 points below state results. Middle school’s average gaps were 42 points in ELA and more than 48.25 in math; high school’s were 40.4 in ELA and more than 32.4 in math. SchoolDigger gives all three schools zero stars and ranks them near the bottom statewide: elementary 148th of 148, middle 76th of 76 and high 80th of 81.
Across the 14 grade-and-subject results available in both years, the average gap from Wyoming widened from 38.03 points in 2024–25 to more than 43.28 points in 2025–26, although results did not all move in the same direction. Elementary math’s average gap grew from 42.1 to 53.9 points; by contrast, middle ELA’s gap narrowed from 43.45 to 42 points, and high school grade 10 science improved from 8.7% to 16.7%. High school’s 2024–25 graduation rate was 61.5%, compared with 83.1% statewide. Staffing ratios were similar—6.7 to 7 students per teacher—but the reported income measures differ: elementary reported 92.6% free/reduced-lunch eligible, while middle and high reported 4.5% and 3.3% directly certified for free meals, respectively. These figures provide context, not an explanation of school results.
