Summary:
Zip code 82649 has one elementary school, Shoshoni Elementary, serving PK–6 and enrolling 220 students; its reported student–teacher ratio was 10.3 in 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, grades 3–6 averaged 57.2% in ELA and 59.4% in math, slightly below Wyoming averages of 57.6% and 60.4%; grade 4 science was 54.8%, compared with 56.2% statewide. The most important finding is that these near-state averages conceal a sharp contrast between strong grade 3 results and weaker grade 6 results, especially in math.
Grade 3 stands out at the top: 71.9% met the ELA benchmark, 16.2 percentage points above the state result, and 81.3% met the math benchmark, 20.1 points above. Grade 6 is at the bottom in both subjects, with 48.3% in ELA—12.5 points below the state—and 37.9% in math, 19.0 points below. Grade 4 science was also slightly below the state, by 1.4 points. Because Shoshoni is the only school listed for this ZIP code, there is no local school-to-school leader or comparison.
Results improved overall relative to the state between the two reported years, though gains were not consistent across grades. Across the four ELA grades, four math grades and grade 4 science, Shoshoni’s average rose from 47.08% in 2024–2025 to 57.88% in 2025–2026, while the state average rose from 55.18% to 58.70%; the average gap narrowed from 8.10 points below the state to 0.82 points below. Grade 3 gains were especially large, while grade 5 ELA and math results fell even as state results increased. SchoolDigger ranks Shoshoni 81st of 148 schools, at the 45th percentile with 2 stars, an improvement from 115th of 149 and the 23rd percentile in 2024–2025. The school reported 16.2% free- or reduced-price lunch eligibility in 2022–2023; this and the staffing figure provide context, not an explanation for test results.
