Summary:
The city of Cowley, Wyoming is home to three schools: Rocky Mountain Elementary, Rocky Mountain High School, and Rocky Mountain Middle School, all part of the Big Horn County School District #1. While the high school stands out as the highest-performing, the middle school also shows strengths in English Language Arts, and the elementary school appears to be the weakest performer across the district.
Rocky Mountain High School ranks 51 out of 80 Wyoming high schools and has a 2-star rating, but it performs above the state average in English Language Arts. In contrast, Rocky Mountain Middle School ranks 54 out of 74 Wyoming middle schools with a 1-star rating, yet it also outperforms the state average in English Language Arts. Rocky Mountain Elementary, however, struggles across most subjects and grade levels, performing below the state and district averages.
The schools in Cowley serve a predominantly white student population, with Hispanic and Native American students making up the next largest racial groups. Socioeconomic disparities are evident, as the high school has a significantly lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients compared to the elementary and middle schools. Spending per student also varies, with the high school spending the most and the middle school spending the least.
