Summary:
The 82523 zip code is home to two high schools: Wind River High School and Wind River Learning Academy, both part of the Fremont County School District # 6. While Wind River High School is the larger of the two with 129 students, Wind River Learning Academy has a lower student-teacher ratio of 8:1 compared to 9.5:1 at the larger school.
Wind River High School has shown steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 62nd in 2022-2023 to 51st in 2023-2024 and reaching 29th out of 83 Wyoming high schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school has also achieved a 81.6% four-year graduation rate, outperforming the state and district averages in several academic areas, including WY-TOPP English Language Arts and Mathematics for 9th and 10th grades.
Interestingly, despite the significant difference in student enrollment, both Wind River High School and Wind River Learning Academy achieved the same 81.6% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024, indicating that the smaller learning academy is able to provide a high-quality education and support for its students. However, the high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Wind River High School (48.84%) suggests that the school may be serving a more economically disadvantaged student population, which could have implications for resource allocation and support services needed to ensure equitable educational opportunities.
