Average teacher compensation clocks in at $152,112 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 81/100, ranked #6 of 44 in Wyoming against a state average of 51 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

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.

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Fremont County School District #38-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: other. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Fremont County School District #38 has higher-than-average Title I eligibility — 100.0% of the population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch

free or reduced-price lunch eligibility is the federal threshold for Title I funding allocations, established under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA, 2015). Areas above 75% eligibility — including this one — receive concentration grants on top of the basic Title I formula. Regions with eligibility this high typically draw a substantially larger federal funding share relative to their local tax base, which can either offset or reinforce existing gaps depending on allocation policy.

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% — high (typically associated with higher-than-average disruption; recent CRDC data showed elevated rates persisting after pandemic-era schooling changes)

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 Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
