Summary:
Zip code 82834 has two elementary schools: Cloud Peak Elementary, serving grades 3–5, and Meadowlark Elementary, serving PK–2; the area’s available test results cover Cloud Peak, not Meadowlark. The clearest takeaway is that Cloud Peak’s latest results vary sharply by grade and subject: its grade 3 and 4 ELA proficiency was below Wyoming’s, while math in all three tested grades and grade 4 science were above the state.
Cloud Peak stands out most in grade 5: 68.7% were proficient in both ELA and math in 2025–26, respectively 7.4 and 7.7 percentage points above state results. Its weakest result was grade 3 ELA, at 43.7%—12 points below the state and 2.7 points below the district. Grade 4 ELA was also low at 45.2%, 7.4 points below the state. Meadowlark has no reported test scores in the supplied data, so it cannot be placed above or below Cloud Peak academically.
Cloud Peak’s relative standing has weakened over the reported years: SchoolDigger’s ranking fell from the 70th percentile in 2023–24 to the 51st in 2025–26, while its average ELA result across grades 3–5 shifted from 3.4 points above the state in 2024–25 to 4 points below in 2025–26. Math remained above the state, but its advantage narrowed from 7.9 to 3.5 points. School context differs: Meadowlark has a lower student–teacher ratio than Cloud Peak (8.7 versus 10.5) and a higher free/reduced-lunch eligible share (43.6% versus 36.0%); its reported per-student spending is also lower ($18,623 versus $25,442).
