Fremont County School District # 6

The Fremont County School District # 6 in Wyoming operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The district serves a mix of small rural communities, with enrollment ranging from just 11 students at Crowheart Elementary to 154 students at Wind River Elementary. While Wind River Elementary has relatively strong academic performance, the district's overall proficiency rates lag behind state averages, and Wind River Middle School and Wind River High School struggle to meet state standards.

The district spends significantly more per student, around $26,600 on average, compared to the state average, yet academic performance remains below state levels. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the district's resource allocation. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 34.92% to 54.55% across the schools, suggest the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges that may be contributing to the performance issues.

Overall, the data reveals a district with wide variation in school performance, small school sizes, and socioeconomic challenges. The district should focus on addressing the specific needs of its lower-performing schools, evaluating the efficiency of its resource allocation, and considering strategies to support its smaller schools and student populations.
