All Wyoming elementary and middle schools receive one of four School Performance Ratings:  Exceeding Expectations, Meeting Expectations, Partially Meeting Expectations, or Not Meeting Expectations.  At the elementary and middle level (grades 3-8) four indicators are used to inform the ratings:  Achievement, Growth, Equity, and English Learner Progress (ELP). Wyoming high schools receive their rating based on seven indicators: Achievement, Growth, Equity, English Learner Progress, Graduation (4-Year), Post Secondary Readiness, and Credits Earned. Wyoming alternative high schools receive their rating based on nine indicators: Achievement, Growth, Equity, English Learner Progress, Graduation (4-Year), Post Secondary Readiness, Credits Earned, School Climate, and Engagement. 

Wyoming is held accountable at both a state and federal level. State accountability is defined in the Wyoming Accountability in Education Act (WAEA), of 2013. This law takes into account measures specifically related to educational goals in Wyoming. Federal accountability has transitioned from the requirements of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) to a locally controlled Wyoming accountability system that meets federal guidelines defined in the recently passed Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
