Washakie County School District #1 operates 5 public schools serving 1,138 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wyoming. The school portfolio breaks down into 3 elementary, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $20,793 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 48 Wyoming districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wyoming compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 20.1% local, 65.5% state, and 14.4% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 60/100, ranked #15 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.

Demographically, the student body averages 70.8% White, 25.0% Hispanic or Latino, 0.4% African American across the district's schools.

Worland High School accounts for 29.8% of all Washakie County School District #1 student enrollment

That dominant concentration means Washakie County School District #1-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. 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.
