How Wyoming manages to keep its rural schools open

Valley Elementary, a small K-5 school in remote northern Wyoming, faces unique challenges and opportunities. With only six students, it is one of the smallest public schools in the U.S. The school is deeply integrated into the community, with students living on nearby ranches. Wyoming's funding model supports such small schools, ensuring equitable education. The one-room classroom offers flexibility and a multi-age learning environment. Transitioning to middle school can be challenging for students due to the drastic change in environment. Despite threats of closure, the community remains hopeful for the school's future.
