Wyoming Schools Recovering Post-Pandemic

School Performance Data has been released by the Wyoming Department of Education and Superintendant Megan Degenfelder. Trends show an increase in school performance after the pandemic shutdown in spring 2020. 

Despite the post-pandemic improvements, statistics are still lagging behind pre-pandemic progress. For the 2022-2023 school year, 26 percent of schools improved their performance rating. Fifty-three percent of schools remained in the same performance rating and 21 percent of schools declined.
