Wyoming · 2024: 221.9 · Rank #2 of 50, highest first · U.S. benchmark: 215

FactVote uses NAEP Data Service mean scale scores for all public-school students in Wyoming. The series uses the total student group and the main reading and mathematics composite scales for Grade 4 and Grade 8. NAEP is generally administered every two years; the 2021 administration was postponed, so the timeline moves from 2019 to 2022. NAEP results are estimates from a sample. Statistical significance, not a visual gap alone, determines whether scores differ. Each grade and subject has its own scale. Follow one line over time rather than comparing the numeric distance between grades or subjects. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

How major events are selected

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.

Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Signed SF0018: Attendance of students in K-12 schools.

Feb 27, 2026 · Enacted · Chapter 5

Gov. Mark Gordon · Signed

FactVote reviewed summary

SF0018 (2026) became Chapter 5 when Gov. Mark Gordon signed it on February 27, 2026. Effective July 1 and applying from school year 2026–2027, it makes public schools equally free and accessible to eligible resident children attending part time. This connection concerns access to classes, including at high-school level; it does not change graduation requirements. The Education Committee sponsored the bill, so no individual is labeled its sponsor.

2026-02-27: Governor Signed SEA No. 0002 Assigned Chapter 5.

Why this record is included

Access to K-12 classes concerns the education pathway of current students, including high-school students. This is an indirect access connection to the diploma-attainment fact for adults age 25 and older. It does not change diploma requirements, award diplomas or demonstrate higher adult attainment. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

Retained Wyoming evidence context: Adults with at least a high school diploma. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

(a) Except as otherwise provided by law, the public schools of each school district in the state shall at all times be equally free and accessible to all children, including children attending school on a part-time basis, resident therein of five (5) years of age as of August 1, or September 15 if pursuant to an approved request under W.S. 21-3-110(a)(xxxviii), of the year in which they may register in kindergarten as provided in W.S. 21-4-302(b) and under the age of twenty-one (21), subject to regulations of the board of trustees.

How Wyoming action records are selected

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified Wyoming officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Sep 11, 2026.

On the Board of Land Commissioners, my family roots in ranching and oil and gas, as well as a love of hunting and the outdoors, help me bring a balanced approach to the management of state lands, optimizing multiple uses with a respect for our traditional industries and the rule of law. My experience, sharp fiscal eye, and steady hand is critical, and as a mother with kids in Wyoming’s public school system, my constitutional duty isn’t likely to be forgotten!

How statements are selected

This section matches specific schools, learning, college costs and educational attainment terms in retained, attributed source text from published Wyoming candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.

Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

Wyoming incumbents

What incumbents are proposing

Explore reviewed bills sponsored by current Wyoming legislators and Wyoming’s congressional delegation, plus retained proposals from Wyoming’s governor and agencies. Each record keeps its latest recorded status and official evidence.

Government bodyProposal statusFind a sponsor or proposalOrder incumbents

0 matching sponsorships or proposals · 0 Wyoming incumbents. These filters apply only to this section.

No retained proposals match these filters. A missing record does not mean an incumbent has taken no action.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current Wyoming officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.

Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Wyoming statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 11, 2026.

Sources & methods

Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.

#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.

Wyoming snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to Wyoming, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.

Retained state source collections assembled October 5, 2026. Original review and source dates remain visible. Refreshing this page does not refresh an official data release.
