WY 7th Nationally in Education

With much of the concern over education in Wyoming on the funding shortfall, there is some good news when it comes to educating the state’s youth.
The Wyoming Department of Education has released a report that the state ranked seventh in the nation.
The Education Week’s 21st annual report card showed the Cowboy state with an overall score of 80.3 out of 100 points and a grade of B-minus.
According to State Superintendent Jillian Balow, the report is proof that schools are “doing great things for kids in our state.”
This annual report is based on three categories… the Chance-for-Success Index; K-12 Achievement Index; and school finance.
