Snowy Range Academy Field Day 2108

Snowy Range Academy (SRA), in Laramie, WY is beginning its 17th year of operation. Over the last sixteen years, SRA has doubled its enrollment, expanded through middle school, and consistently met or exceeded its academic and operational goals and objectives. According to schooldigger.com, SRA is currently ranked as one of the highest performing public K-8 school in the state of Wyoming. For the 2016-2017 State test results, SRA's overall scores exceeded the total averages for both the District and the State in all assessment areas. Since the State of Wyoming initiated school accountability, SRA has been determined to be Exceeding Expectations for four consecutive years.

As SRA looks to the future, we anticipate our biggest challenge will be to obtain a level of consistent funding so that we can ensure all of our employees, specifically our wonderful teaching staff, are appropriately compensated for the hard work and long hours spent making SRA such an amazing educational environment. While tackling this challenge, SRA also balances the integration of a variety of other important aspects of our future development, namely facilities development and technology integration, into our funding model.

SRA appreciates the support given to us these past years by the administrators and trustees of the Albany County School District #1, the State Building Commission, the Wyoming Legislature, and most importantly, the parents, teachers, and staff that have worked tirelessly to develop SRA into the school it is today.
