Education Week’s 23rd annual report card, “Quality Counts 2019,” ranks Wyoming sixth nationally in education quality – up one spot from seventh nationally in 2018. Once again, Wyoming scored the highest among western states, and first in the nation in school finance. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow points that adequate funding for education has been a bedrock of Wyoming education since the state’s founding. Ballow says “Our funding model has allowed us to make a real difference in the lives of all students. The Nation’s Report Card consistently places Wyoming above national averages from year to year. The 2019 rankings of states are based on three key indices: the Chance-for-Success Index; K-12 Achievement Index; and school finance. Here in Wyoming, Teton County Schools are ranked seventh best across the state. Sheridan County schools are ranked number one and Sublette County Schools are number two.
