Campbell County School District #1

The Campbell County School District #1 in Wyoming consists of 23 schools, including 17 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 27th out of 42 school districts in Wyoming and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out as high-performing, including Pronghorn Elementary, which ranks 30th out of 147 Wyoming elementary schools and is rated 4 stars, and Wagonwheel Elementary, which is ranked 43rd and also rated 4 stars. These schools have particularly strong performance in math and English Language Arts. Other notable schools include Sunflower Elementary and Prairie Wind Elementary, which are both ranked in the top 62 elementary schools in Wyoming and have solid proficiency rates across multiple subjects.

However, the district also has some struggling schools, such as Meadowlark Elementary and Westwood High School, which have proficiency rates well below the state and district averages. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between higher spending per student and lower academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality and school leadership, play a crucial role in student achievement. The district could benefit from analyzing the practices of its top-performing schools and replicating them across the lower-performing ones.
