Best Public Schools in Zip Code 82716

Summary:

The 82716 zip code area of Gillette, Wyoming is home to 9 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance among these schools, with some standouts like Stocktrail Elementary and Wagonwheel Elementary consistently ranking among the top in the state, while others like Lakeview Elementary and Meadowlark Elementary struggle to meet proficiency standards.

The data also reveals a potential correlation between student socioeconomic status, as measured by free and reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Hillcrest Elementary, tend to have lower test scores. However, the data alone does not provide a complete picture, and factors such as teacher quality, school leadership, and community engagement may also play a significant role in shaping student outcomes.

Despite the disparities, the data also highlights opportunities for improvement. Campbell County High School, for example, has shown signs of progress, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating in recent years. With the right support and interventions, lower-performing schools in the 82716 zip code could potentially make similar strides, benefiting the entire Campbell County School District #1.
