Summary:
The Albany County School District #1 in Wyoming is home to 10 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary significantly in size, with student populations ranging from 25 to 355. While the district as a whole performs well, a few standout schools emerge based on their exceptional test scores and statewide rankings.
Slade Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Wyoming, with a statewide ranking of 8th out of 147 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. This school boasts impressive test scores, with 66.7% to 86.9% of students proficient or better in various subjects and grade levels.

While most schools in the district outperform state and district averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, there are notable differences in test scores and statewide rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just district-level resources and policies may be contributing to the varying levels of student achievement. Additionally, the smaller schools, such as Rock River Elementary and Harmony Elementary, tend to have lower test scores and statewide rankings, highlighting the unique challenges faced by small, rural schools.
