Wyoming students above the average for the Nation Report Map Card, but Scores Slip – Wyofile

The results of the Wyoming students’ tests remain above the national average values ​​for what is known as the national map of the nation, but continue a five -year tendency to reduce both mathematics and reading.

Meanwhile, another tag for school results, the four -year percentage of the time of the state, remains stable to 81%.

The Ministry of Education in Wyoming released the results last week amid increasing national skepticism to public education and debate about choosing a school. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order to support the expansion of a school in America. On the same day, the House of Wyoming’s representatives adopted a controversial measure to create a universal vouchers system – which will give families the government subsidies to help pay home education or a private school.

During the debate of the home regarding the measure, legislators spaled the state of Wyoming’s state school system – some defended it as a star, while others ask whether the percentage of ownership is actually worth celebrating.

Test results

The national assessment of educational progress, known as the national map of the report, is intended to evaluate the state of education throughout the country through tests for reading and mathematics administered to fourth and eighth grade students.

Within the tests, the fourth -graders of Wyoming signed better than their eighth -graders. And while the state generally maintained its national status above average, Wyoming’s results continued a decreasing trend that traces the rest of the country.

In 2024, 36% of Wyoming’s fourth -graders noted at or above the NAEP reading -six percentage points higher than the average for the United States and more than 41% in 2017 in mathematics 46% of the fourth -graders were on the fourth -graders or over the possession, in the meantime, 46% of fourth -graders were on or above the possession, in the meantime, in the meantime were on or above the possession, in the meantime Meanwhile, 46% of fourth -graders are on or above ownership, 46% of fourth graders, 46% of fourth -graders, 46% of fourth graders, 46% of the graders, 46% of fourth -graders, 46% over or above, 46% of fourth graders, 46% of fourth -graders of fourth graders, in the meantime, were at or above skills, seven percentage points higher than the national average and a reduction of 51% in 2017.

The eighth -graders also did not manage, with 29% estimated at or over reading. This is the same as the country average and a decrease of 38% in 2017 in mathematics, meanwhile, 30% of eighth -graders have noted at or above the ownership, three percentage points above the country’s average and a decrease of 38% in 2017 (results from the results of the results of 2017 are a statistically different average percentage of 2024, according to WDE.)

The results rank Wyoming Six in the 4th grade reading country; second in fourth grade mathematics; 21st in reading eighth grade and 19th in mathematics of eighth grade.

“Wyoming continues to stand out on a national scale, demonstrating sustainability and dedication in the classroom,” a public instructions, Megan Degenfelder, said in the press release. “However, I know we can do better. It is my responsibility to guarantee that every student in Wyoming has the tools for success and we will continue to insist on excellence. The work doesn’t stop here. ”

Degenfelder pointed to dozens of children at risk as something to celebrate. Wyoming students in special education, those of a free and reduced lunch program and students in the rural area, all outnumbered their peers on a national scale in several categories.

The four-year percentage of the graduation of the high school in the country remained stable in 2024. In 81.6%, increased by. 2% compared to the previous year. Of the 6,344 students who won their diplomas in 2024, 6,193 did it in four years. It was the largest class for this, as the state began to follow the percentage in 2009, according to the Wyoming Education Division.

The degree of completion of the time of the state has increased about 80% from 2015-16.

Unlike NAEP assessments, there is no uniform national methodology for tracking these statistics, which makes it difficult to compare Vayoming with other countries.

However, Degenfelder is pleased that the percentage of the state continues to mark up, she said, and she noted some bright spots in the number of graduation graduation in 2024.

The degree of time completion at the Wyoming Indian High School in Fremont #14 jumped to 76.5% of 49%. Low degrees of completion in the areas of the wind reservation are a source of a perennial problem.

The Wind River Academy, an alternative school in Pavilion, survived an increase of 37.5% compared to the previous year, with 87.5% of students in 2023-24 ending on time. Overall, six alternative schools in Wyoming achieved an increase of 10% or more at four years of time completion.

Fourteen schools of Wyoming and a charter school have published percentages of completion of 90% or more time. These include three areas with 100%: Sheridan 3 County School, Washiki County School and the Prairie View school district.

It should be noted that Prairie View, a charter school in Chugwater, has only one student in the cohort.
