About Washakie County School District 2
Families in zip code 82442 (Ten Sleep, Wyoming) are assigned to Washakie County School District 2 for public education through 12. This overview covers the district’s funding levels, scale, rating, and what to expect from the enrollment process if you’re moving to or within this zip code.
Understanding the 9/10 Rating
With a rating of 9/10 (excellent), Washakie County School District 2 ranks among Wyoming’s top-tier-rated school systems. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection (2021–22 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Wyoming is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
⚠️ Small-district caveat. Washakie County School District 2 enrolls 105 students. A percentile rank drawn from so few test-takers is statistically unstable — it can move several points from one year to the next on normal variation alone, and a single class of students can swing it. Treat this rating as a rough signal rather than a precise ranking, and look at the school-level detail below before drawing conclusions.
Washakie County School District 2 carries a below-average rating, with reading and math proficiency rates below typical Wyoming benchmarks on state assessments. A below-average score reflects test performance relative to other districts — not necessarily teaching quality or school culture, and some of these districts have schools with strong communities and dedicated staff. Families should research specific school quality, visit in person, and ask about available programs. Also ask about open enrollment and magnet options that may offer alternatives to the default attendance-zone assignment.
