Summary:
Laramie County School District #1 in Wyoming is home to 5 middle schools, serving grades 6-8. The data reveals stark contrasts in academic performance between the top-performing McCormick Junior High School and the lowest-performing Johnson Junior High School.
McCormick Junior High School stands out as the top-performing middle school in the district, consistently ranking among the top 30-40 middle schools in Wyoming over the past 3 years. Its test scores are significantly higher than the district and state averages across English Language Arts, Math, and Science.
