Wyoming Student Test Scores Uniformly Reach or Exceed Prepandemic Levels for First Time
State officials credited literacy reform and teacher support as 75% of schools met or exceeded achievement standards, according to the education department.
- On Friday, Wyoming Superintendent of Public Education Megan Degenfelder announced that statewide test scores have rebounded to prepandemic levels across science, math, and English language arts for the first time.
- Six years after the COVID-19 pandemic upended education and caused nationwide learning loss, students showed progress under Wyoming's statewide accountability system established a decade ago.
- For the 2025-26 school year, 75% of schools serving grades 3-8 met or exceeded achievement standards, a 5% gain. Proficiency reached 57.3% in English language arts, 54.9% in math, and 52.5% in science.
- Washakie School District 2 achieved 70% or better proficiency across all three content areas, while Carey Middle School in Cheyenne jumped two categories after implementing what Principal Matt Schlagel called a "redesign" to meet student needs.
- Degenfelder credited a "laser-focused" effort involving policymakers, teachers, and families for the gains. "These results show us that our statewide priority around literacy reform and efforts to raise the bar are working," she said.
