Summary:
Fremont County School District #6 in Wyoming has only one middle school, Wind River Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 48th and 56th out of 74 middle schools in recent years, and a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Wind River Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, though the school has shown some strengths, such as 8th-grade ELA proficiency exceeding the state average in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. The school's 8th-grade Science proficiency rate was slightly below the state average in both years. With a small student population of 81 and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, the school faces socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to its academic performance.
Despite the school's relatively low performance, Fremont County School District #6 is investing significant resources in Wind River Middle School, with per-student spending of $24,064 in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need to explore ways to optimize the use of these resources to drive better student achievement.
