District-Level NCES Analysis
Weston County School District #7 operates 3 public schools serving 725 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Wyoming. The school portfolio breaks down into 1 elementary, 1 middle, 1 high schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Weston County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,854 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, among the bottom 5 of 48 Wyoming districts by per-pupil spending. See how Wyoming compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 18.4% local, 71.3% state, and 10.2% 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 22/100, ranked #43 of 44 in Wyoming against a state average of 51, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.

Upton Elementary accounts for 66.8% of all Weston County School District #7 student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Weston County School District #7 a distant remainder — means Weston County School District #7-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: elementary. 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.
Weston County School District #7 school enrollment varies 7.3× across entities
Weston County School District #7 school enrollment ranges from 79 students (lowest) to 574 students (highest), a spread of 495 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio, most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.
Weston County School District #7 student-counselor ratio is 79:1 — well below typical (typically associated with unusually small scale or exceptionally high per-unit investment)
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 Values this far below typical often correlate with unusually small scale or population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se — worth checking whether the underlying denominator is itself an outlier.
Weston County School District #7 chronic absenteeism rate is 17.8% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
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 Variation between sub-units within Weston County School District #7 is typically wider than the Weston County School District #7-aggregate figure suggests.
