Summary:
The 82730 zip code area is home to two schools - Upton Middle School and Upton High School, both part of the Weston County School District #7. While Upton High School has a relatively small enrollment of 76 students, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 16th out of 80 Wyoming high schools in 2022-2023 to 33rd out of 83 in 2024-2025.
Upton Middle School has an enrollment of 225 students and is ranked 48th out of 77 Wyoming middle schools in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating. Both schools have proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science that are generally below the state averages, with the exception of Upton High School's above-average performance in ELA and Science. Interestingly, Upton High School has a very low student-teacher ratio of 6.6 students per teacher, suggesting a high level of individual attention and support for students.
Despite the relatively high spending per student, especially at the high school level, the overall performance of the district and the declining trends at the high school level raise questions about the quality of education in this area. Further investigation into the factors influencing student achievement, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and support programs, could provide valuable insights to drive improvements in the schools serving the 82730 zip code community.
