The district's equity score is 81/100, ranked #6 of 44 in Wyoming against a state average of 51, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 196:1 student-counselor ratio, that meets the ASCA-recommended benchmark, and 80.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 6.3% Hispanic or Latino, 1.3% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Arapahoe Elementary, enrolling 392 students (88% of the district's total enrollment). Its smallest is Arapahoe Charter High School, at 54 students, a 7x enrollment spread across the district's campuses.
Arapahoe Elementary accounts for 87.9% of all Fremont County School District #38 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Fremont County School District #38 a distant remainder — means Fremont County School District #38-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.

The reported share is above 87.5%, so economic need is widespread across the measured student population. Title I operates under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015), but its statutory allocation uses additional LEA-level counts and rules not represented by this average. This percentage is an economic-need context measure; it does not establish a Title I award, show dollars received, or describe how funds are distributed among campuses.
Fremont County School District #38 student-counselor ratio is 196:1 — low (typically associated with meeting or exceeding the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) recommended 250:1 benchmark, which correlates with stronger college and career counseling capacity)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
Fremont County School District #38 chronic absenteeism rate is 80.9% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
