Wyoming publishes test results, school accountability ratings, graduation results, staffing information, enrollment data, and financial reports so the public can review how the education system is performing. The Wyoming School District Scorecard brings those public results and district information together in one place so parents, taxpayers, and citizens can more easily see what the state’s own reports show.
There is no shortage of claims about Wyoming education. Some point to national rankings. Others point to student proficiency, graduation readiness, accountability ratings, staffing, or spending. The Scorecard starts with the simplest question: what do Wyoming’s own publicly reported results show?
Our team reviewed and organized state-reported education results so the public can compare academic scores, school accountability, staffing, and financial indicators by district.
We did not create the test results, alter the state standards, or change Wyoming’s accountability ratings. The Scorecard uses publicly reported state information and, where noted, simple calculations from reported categories such as ADM, staff FTE, expenditures, and school accountability counts. The purpose is to make these public results easier to find, compare, and understand. Taken together, the reported results raise serious questions about whether academic outcomes, staffing levels, and taxpayer spending are aligned.
