Kaycee School has the widest swings: its fourth-grade math result was under 20%, compared with 63.1% at Cloud Peak Elementary, while Kaycee had results of at least 80% in some other grades. Cloud Peak’s results are mixed too: its third- and fourth-grade ELA scores were below state results, while its reported math scores were above them. The data extract has no test scores for Meadowlark Elementary.
