west central Wyoming (9,255 square
miles). The District comprises an
area of 3,147 square miles in the
western portion of the county and
has its administrative offices in the
beautiful city of Lander (Census
2010 population 7,487). The
District’s Census 2000 population
is 10,244. The District offers
a comprehensive educational
program for grades kindergarten
through 12 and the Wyoming State
Board of Education and North
Central accredit all eight schools
(K-12) in the District. The District
is subject to periodic monitoring
by the State Department of
Education, but has instituted its
own quality control program to
insure the needs of students as well.
The District presently operates
Lander Valley High School (grades
9-12), Pathfinder Learning Center
(grades 8-12), and Starrett Junior
High School (grades 7-8), which
are located in the city of

Lander. The District also operates
the following elementary schools
(grades K-6): North Elementary,
Gannett Peak Elementary and
Baldwin Creek Elementary, which
are located in Lander; and Jeffrey
City Elementary in Jeffrey City,
Wyoming.
The District’s comprehensive
educational program is fueled
by the energy of an active and
informed Board of Trustees, and
experienced and dedicated staff,
and interested and participating
parents and community members.
Providing quality opportunities, in a
peaceful, productive and purposeful
environment, that lead to positive
“next steps” for every student,
drives the District’s decision-making
process.
