Summary:
The city of Thermopolis, Wyoming is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Ralph Witters Elementary, Hot Springs County High School, and Thermopolis Middle School. These schools are part of the Hot Springs County School District #1, which is ranked 2nd out of 42 districts in Wyoming and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the three schools, Thermopolis Middle School stands out as the academic leader, consistently ranking among the top middle schools in the state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are impressive, with high proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. In contrast, Ralph Witters Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and test scores, while Hot Springs County High School is a strong performer, ranking #4 out of 80 Wyoming high schools and earning a 5-star rating.
The data also reveals that the Hot Springs County School District #1 is investing significant resources into its educational system, with relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios across all three schools. This suggests that the district is committed to providing a high-quality education, and it would be valuable to explore how these resources are being allocated and whether they are being used effectively to drive student achievement, particularly at Ralph Witters Elementary where performance has declined.
