Wyoming: 2024 Assessment Results

Slight progress from 2023; not yet at pre-pandemic levels

Overview

Here at the 2024 State Assessment Data Substack, we’re releasing these posts as states release their data (and we clean it). To keep it brief, every post will have three sets of graphs: 1) math and ELA test scores for grades 3-8 over time, 2) math and ELA scores by race/ethnicity, and 3) outcomes by economic status, when possible. 

Our intention is to give you the big picture: where are the state scores going, and how that differs by student group. These graphs are made with Zelma.ai, and if you want to explore up through the 2023 data yourself, you can do that here. All available 2024 assessment data will be published in December. You can read more about Zelma in our post here.

Overall Trends

Wyoming’s overall proficiency rates for students in grades 3–8 rose slightly in ELA and math between 2023 and 2024, though neither subject has reached pre-pandemic proficiency levels. ELA has not changed significantly since 2021, while math is making small progress each year.

• ELA: Proficiency rates rose from approximately 54% to 55% between 2023 and 2024, down from 57% in 2019.
