Fremont County School District #21

The Fremont County School District #21 in Wyoming is home to three schools: Ft. Washakie Elementary, Ft. Washakie High School, and Ft. Washakie Middle School. Unfortunately, the data shows that these schools are consistently underperforming, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels.

None of the schools in the district stand out as high-performing, with all three ranked in the bottom quartile of their respective school types in the state. The elementary and high school are ranked 144th and 77th out of 147 and 80 schools, respectively, and all three schools are rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating they are among the lowest-performing schools in Wyoming. This poor academic performance is concerning, especially given the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios at these schools.

The data also reveals that all three schools have a 100% free and reduced lunch rate, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. While increased funding and resources may not be the sole solution, the district will need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the specific challenges faced by these schools and their students. This may include professional development for teachers, additional support services for students, and a focus on evidence-based instructional practices to improve academic outcomes for all students in the Fremont County School District #21.
