Summary:
ZIP code 82729 has one listed high school, Sundance Secondary School, serving grades 7–12 with 198 students in Crook County School District #1. There are no other listed local high schools to compare, but the school’s 2025–2026 proficiency results were generally strong relative to Wyoming: nine of ten reported grade-and-subject results were above the matching state result, with grade 8 math the sole exception.
Sundance is the local standout by default, and its strongest results were in grade 10 science and grade 7 ELA and math. Grade 10 science proficiency was 86.5%, 33.2 percentage points above the state and 18.4 above the district; grade 7 ELA reached 85.3%, and grade 7 math 79.4%. The clearest concern was grade 8 math at 43.3%, 10.6 points below the state. Grade 9 ELA was the school’s lowest ELA result at 65.7%, but still 10.1 points above the state. These grade-level differences are more useful for identifying strengths and areas to watch than a school-to-school comparison, since no other school is listed.
Results changed unevenly over time: grade 8 math dropped 26.1 points, from 69.4% in 2024–2025 to 43.3% in 2025–2026, while grade 7 math rose 14.9 points. Across grades reported in both years, science improved most, ELA rose modestly, and math declined slightly on average. SchoolDigger ranked Sundance 5th of 81 Wyoming schools in 2025–2026, compared with 22nd of 80 in 2023–2024. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 90.3%, above the state’s 83.1%; the student–teacher ratio was 10.4, and 24.8% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Those figures offer context, not an explanation for academic results.
