Wyoming Lags Behind National Graduation Benchmarks
Wyoming posts an average graduation rate of 82.0%, trailing the national average of 87.0% by five percentage points. Despite a per-pupil spending of $10,912 which sits below the $13,000 national benchmark, the state manages an average school score of 57.7, outperforming the national median of 50.0.
A Vast Divide Across 23 School Districts
The state's 23 counties exhibit massive performance swings, with school scores ranging from a low of 26.9 to a high of 70.1. Graduation outcomes show an even sharper divide, as Teton County leads the state at 94.0% while Niobrara County falls to a low of 42.0%.
Lower Spending Often Limits Student Success
Wyoming's investment correlates heavily with performance, as districts with the lowest spending see significantly lower graduation rates. Niobrara County provides a stark example, where the state's lowest per-pupil spend of $6,387 results in the lowest school score of 26.9.
Teton and Crook Counties Set the Standard
Teton County leads the state with a 70.1 school score and a 94.0% graduation rate, fueled by a high $13,685 per-pupil investment. Crook County follows closely with a 65.3 score and a 92.0% graduation rate, demonstrating that strong outcomes are achievable within the state's educational framework.
Strong Local Leaders Amidst Statewide Hurdles
While Wyoming's statewide graduation average is lower than most of the country, standout counties like Teton and Converse offer high-quality alternatives for families. Success in the state is highly localized, making county-level data the most critical factor for evaluating school performance.
