I am a student at Lyman High School, and though it's not the best, I like it here. I'm not a fan of the block schedule, so the 6 period a day schedule works out very well. The teachers are nice and really try to help us achieve. I believe that not only the teachers, but the students are also responsible for the quality of this school. A teacher can try their best, but if the student is not willing, there's no hope, and many students have transferred because of that. Overall, we have a good school system that pushes us to succeed, cares for us, and gives us a superior education. I like it here and wouldn't think to go anywhere else.

I had one child graduate from Lyman High School, one go to elementary and middle school there and one more that just went to elementary. I found some teachers to be excellent. On the whole it was very disappointing. There is a lot of favoritism and bigotry (racial). The administration talks the talk but really does little to correct it. I absoluttely would not recommend the school system to minority children. However, they are excellent with special needs children

Hi, I'm a student at Lyman High School, and i just wanted to say that i love it. this school has many extracuricular classes and programs, and the school is somewhat smaller, so you always have personal one-on-one time with the teacher if you need it. We have some good sports teams, and a cheer squad and dance team. parents are always involved in things at school and we all know eachother. I love this school, and i'm sure other students do too. hope i helped

Nice school for such a small community. Curriculum is very limited, as is the selection of extracurricular activities

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Wyoming administered the Proficiency Assessments for Wyoming Students (PAWS) in reading, writing and math to students in grades 3 through 8 and 11, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 11. 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. The goal is for all students score at or above the proficient level.
