Funding

How Wyoming funds schools

Wyoming funds districts through the Wyoming Education Resource Block Grant Model, a cost-based model born of the Campbell County school-finance rulings: it computes a recommended amount per district from staffing, salary and materials components, delivered as a block grant, and equalizes statewide through recapture so local property wealth above the guarantee is redistributed. The model is recalibrated periodically, and its adequacy remains the subject of 2025–26 litigation.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Carbon County School District #1 are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

Wyoming rates schools under the Wyoming Accountability in Education Act (WAEA), assigning each a level from Exceeding to Not Meeting Expectations across growth, achievement, equity, English-language proficiency and (for high schools) readiness and graduation. Look up Carbon County School District #1 in the Wyoming School Performance Reports.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

Wyoming accredits its public districts itself: the State Board of Education accredits every district annually under W.S. 21-2-304, with the Department of Education running the Chapter 6 process (a five-year on-site peer review, which may use the state team or an approved provider such as Cognia). See the Wyoming accreditation pages.
