Big Horn County School District #1 is a rural Wyoming district serving 1,254 students across 6 schools with 84.47 teachers. The district maintains a relatively stable enrollment size typical of rural communities in the region.
Academically, the district's performance metrics fall below state averages across all measured categories. Math proficiency stands at 43.0% compared to Wyoming's state average of 50.3%, a gap of 7.3 percentage points. Reading proficiency is 53.8% versus the state average of 54.9%, a difference of 1.1 percentage points. The graduation rate of 81.9% trails the state average of 85.5% by 3.6 percentage points.
The student population reflects characteristics common to rural districts. Approximately 45.8% of students are economically disadvantaged, which is notably higher than typical state demographics. English learners represent 1.0% of enrollment, reflecting limited linguistic diversity. Students with disabilities comprise 15.4% of the population, slightly above average for rural districts.
The combination of below-average academic metrics and elevated economic disadvantage suggests resource constraints that may impact student outcomes. The district's graduation rate indicates that approximately 18.1% of students do not complete high school, a notable concern requiring attention to retention and completion pathways. These data points indicate areas where district leadership may prioritize support services and instructional resources.
