How to read these scores
What is WY-TOPP?
WY-TOPP is the statewide standardized test administered by Wyoming public schools.
What does "% Proficient + Advanced" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 66.5% mean for English Language Arts at Burlington Elementary?
It means about 66.5 percent of students tested at Burlington Elementary performed at grade level or above on the WY-TOPP English Language Arts test in 2024-25. The statewide average for Wyoming that year was 56.0%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Wyoming, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Wyoming Department of Education, Wyoming Test of Proficiency and Progress (WY-TOPP). School-level Aggregated results from the WDE Cognos report. Headline metric is the cumulative "Proficient + Advanced" rate (top 2 of 4 levels: Below / Basic / Proficient / Advanced).
How often is it updated?
WY-TOPP is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
