all the teachers...the office staff is the only reason my son made it through kindergarden
—Submitted by a parent


Posted September 11, 2003

I do know that the teacher student ratio is certainly not 16:1. Most classes have between 21 - 24 students, which is still fairly low. This is a really great school with a strong sense of community and lots of parental involvement.

PAWS tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Wyoming.
