Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.
The elementary years
The elementary schools average 51.0/100 — 12.1 points above the state average, with 1 of 2 in the Strong band.
2 elementary schools span 13 points around an average of 51.0.
Wheatland Charter Academy (57/100) holds the Strong band — 31.4% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 27.6%.
Only 2 campuses at this level — one school's year moves every number in this chapter.
The middle years
One middle school: Bear River at 40/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.
One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.
Students are showing up: chronic absenteeism runs 11.4% against a state average of 18.1%.
One campus is the whole sample — a single year's cohort moves every number in this chapter.
What it means for your family
Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. The strongest attendance-zone candidate is Lone Tree Elementary at 45/100 — confirm the exact boundary with the district before the house.
1 of the 3 ranked schools is a charter — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.
A band is a position, not a prophecy — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

Top scorers at each level — not necessarily one zoned sequence. Confirm feeder patterns and enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.
