Sheridan County School District #1 is a rural Wyoming district serving 1,255 students across 8 schools with 90.28 teachers. The district operates in a relatively stable enrollment environment typical of rural Wyoming communities.
Academically, the district demonstrates performance above state averages in core subjects. Math proficiency reaches 68.8% compared to the Wyoming state average of 50.3%, and reading proficiency is 69.5% against the state average of 54.9%. These results indicate stronger foundational literacy and numeracy skills than typical Wyoming districts. However, the graduation rate of 82.4% falls slightly below the state average of 85.5%, suggesting room for improvement in student completion rates.
The student population reflects characteristics common to rural Wyoming districts. Approximately 30.9% of students qualify as economically disadvantaged, indicating moderate economic pressures on the community. The district has minimal English learner needs at 0.4% of enrollment, reflecting limited linguistic diversity. Students with disabilities represent 10.3% of the student body, slightly above typical state patterns.
The district's financial position appears sustainable for its size, with adequate staffing ratios supporting the academic outcomes achieved. The combination of above-average academic performance in core subjects alongside a below-average graduation rate suggests the district may benefit from targeted intervention strategies for at-risk students approaching completion milestones.
