District-Level NCES Analysis

Campbell County School District #1 operates 23 public schools serving 8,636 students, placing it in the mid-size range in Wyoming. The school portfolio breaks down into 15 elementary, 3 high, 3 other, 2 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 8,459 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Campbell County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $18,145 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 58.0% local, 32.6% state, and 9.4% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $92,785 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 23/100, ranked #41 of 44 in Wyoming against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 2 of 23 schools offering Advanced Placement (19 AP courses district-wide), a 310.5:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 39.7% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 82.7% White, 12.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% Asian across the district's schools.
