What this school's NCES data tells you

The free-lunch share is 32% below the Wyoming average and 64% below the national baseline. Counselor coverage works out to roughly 123 students per counselor, meeting the American School Counselor Association recommendation of 250:1. Chronic absenteeism — missing 10% or more of school days — stands at 5.1% according to the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection.
On the finance side, the surrounding Park County School District #16 spends $40,800 per pupil district-wide, above the Wyoming average of $22,313 and above the national average of $16,593.
