Niche ranks SCSD2 No. 1 for Wyoming school districts

SHERIDAN (WNE) –  Sheridan County School District No. 2 ranked first for school districts in the state of Wyoming, according to niche.com, an online school ranking system. 

Mitch Craft, assistant superintendent for curriculum and assessment for SCSD2, shared good news at Monday’s board of trustees meeting.

“All three Sheridan County School districts were ranked in the top six. We’re proud of our partners in districts one and three and we know Sheridan County is a great place to grow up and a great place to be a parent,” Craft said.

Sagebrush Elementary School ranked first for the second year in a row with Woodland Park Elementary School ranking fourth, Highland Park Elementary School ranking fifth and Meadowlark Elementary School ranking seventh. 

Henry A. Coffeen Elementary School was recognized in Wyoming’s top five standout elementary schools due to its positive impact on economically disadvantaged students.

Sheridan Junior High School ranked third for Wyoming middle schools.

While not all ranking systems can be verified, niche.com uses an in-depth system looking at different measures for school success, Craft said.

Craft said this showed the cumulative effort of the school district to make students successful, from elementary through high school.
