Summary:
The 82931 zip code area is home to two high schools: Evanston High School and Horizon Alternative School, both part of the Uinta County School District #1. While Evanston High School is the larger, more traditional high school, Horizon Alternative School serves a smaller, specialized student population.
Evanston High School is ranked 43rd out of 83 Wyoming high schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. It has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 81.6% and its test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages. In contrast, Horizon Alternative School is ranked 77th out of 83 Wyoming high schools, with a 0-star rating, but also maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 81.6%. However, Horizon Alternative School's test scores are significantly lower than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math.
The data reveals a stark contrast in the performance and resources of the two high schools. Horizon Alternative School has a much higher spending per student at $31,373, compared to Evanston High School's $16,248, as well as a lower student-teacher ratio of 4.5, suggesting the district is allocating more resources to support the specialized needs of the students at the alternative school. This difference in resource allocation may be a contributing factor to the academic performance gap between the two schools.
