Summary:
Zip code 82721 has one elementary school, Moorcroft Elementary, serving kindergarten through grade 6. Its 318 students attend a school in Crook County School District #1. In 2025–2026, Moorcroft’s average across grades 3–6 was above the state average in both mathematics (70.0% versus 60.4%) and ELA (60.7% versus 57.6%), but results differed substantially by grade. The most important finding for parents is that grade 4 was below the state in both subjects, while several other grades—especially grade 5 mathematics—performed well above it.
Within the area, Moorcroft Elementary is both the highest- and lowest-performing school because it is the only school in the list; comparisons are instead most useful by grade and against state and district results. Grade 5 mathematics was the strongest 2025–2026 result: 83.7% proficient, 22.7 percentage points above the state and 1.6 points below the district. Grade 4 ELA was the weakest at 47.6%, 5.0 points below the state and 12.0 below the district; grade 4 mathematics was also low at 52.4%, trailing the state by 10.2 points. Grade 6 ELA stood out in a positive way at 75.8%, 15.0 points above the state and just above the district.
Results have become more mixed over time: the school’s ELA average fell 4.5 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, while its mathematics average was nearly unchanged; meanwhile, the state mathematics average rose, narrowing Moorcroft’s lead. Grade 6 ELA improved by 6.6 points, unlike grades 3–5, and grade 4 science remained above the state despite falling from 76.9% to 69.1%. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking shifted from 17th of 147 schools (4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 47th of 148 (3 stars) in 2025–2026. The reported student-teacher ratio was 10.9 and free/reduced-lunch eligibility was 60.1% in 2024–2025; these are context, not explanations for achievement. Because this ZIP code has only one listed school, parents cannot compare schools against one another using these data.
