Wyoming's high school graduation rate fell to 78.9% in 2011-12. Figures released Friday by the Wyoming Department of Education show the rate is down from 79.7% in 2010-11 and 80.4% in 2009-10. In the 2011-12 school year, just over 5,400 students graduated on time from high school while 1,450 did not. Washakie County School District 2 in Ten Sleep had the highest graduation rate in the state, with all 7 of its students graduating on time. On the other hand, Fremont County District 21 in Fort Washakie had the lowest rate at 11%, with just 2 of its 18 seniors graduating. State Education Department interim director Jim Rose says the statewide rate is distressing but the graduation data can be used to help achieve improvement.
