District pages for Wyoming, largest first
Only 2 districts in Wyoming have a page here. Each is ranked by the homes inside its boundary, counted from the census blocks the Census Bureau assigns to it.
The most divided ZIP Code area in Wyoming
ZIP Code area 82501 holds 7,913 homes and 4 districts take a real share of them for the early grades, but Fremont County School District 25 holds 91% on its own at that level. This is the shape that makes a single-name lookup look right: it names Fremont County School District 25 and describes most of the homes here, and silently not the rest.
252 of the 7,913 homes here have no high school district named in the federal file.
Each percentage here is a share of the 7,913 homes counted in ZIP Code 82501, not the chance that any one address is in that district. Enrollment follows the street: two houses on opposite sides of the same road can be in different districts, and only the district office can say which.
Every track below is 35 cells long and stands for all 7,913 homes counted in ZIP Code 82501, so one cell is 226 homes, rounded to the nearest whole cell. Cells lit solid are the homes one district holds, and the unlit cells are the homes held by the other districts in the same list.
- Fremont County School District 257,199 of 7,913 homes91%
- Fremont County School District 6304 of 7,913 homes3.8%
- Fremont County School District 38252 of 7,913 homes3.2%
- Fremont County School District 24124 of 7,913 homes1.6%
One further district reaches into this area and holds 34 homes in it, under half a percent of the homes named at this level.
For grade school, an answer of one district name would be wrong for 714 of the 7,913 here.
Where a single district name still works in Wyoming

What to do next
Ask the district office to confirm your street address: look on its site for a school locator, a find my school tool or an attendance zone map, or call the office.
A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: 55 of the 179 ZIP Code areas in Wyoming with a district named for them are served by more than one school district, and the line between two of them runs along streets. Only the district can say which side of that line an address is on.
District websites and phone numbers here come from the NCES Common Core of Data directory, 2024-25 school year, filed under the same district ID as the Census boundary files. Where it lists no usable website, none is printed rather than guessed.
If a house purchase depends on the answer, ask the district itself for written confirmation of that exact address. A listing is not a district record, and neither is this page.
Where these numbers come from
The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file, so a fast-growing area may have changed since; ZIP Codes here are the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Areas; a share is a share of homes, not the chance that one address is in a district; and a district is not a school attendance zone. Every source, file and caveat is on the method page.
