Alpine’s public schools outscore 88% of Wyoming districts

In Alpine, 66% of tested students read at a proficient level, above the Wyoming average (53%). The grade covers the public school district serving Alpine, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Wyoming, not nationally.

From Wyoming state tests taken in spring 2022, when 100% of students in the tested grades sat them, and the class of 2023’s four-year graduation rate, as reported to the U.S. Department of Education.
