WAPITI ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Wapiti Elementary is a public elementary school that is part of the Park County School District # 6 school district, located in Cody, WY with about 12 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 2 teachers, Wapiti Elementary has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Wapiti Elementary is a small, rural school located west of Cody, Wyoming, situated along the scenic North Fork Highway. Serving the Wapiti Valley community, the school is part of the Park County School District 6. Because of its remote location nestled between Cody and the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park, the school provides a close-knit, intimate learning environment that emphasizes personalized attention and a strong sense of community for its students.

The school is known for its focus on foundational academics while leveraging its unique geographic setting to foster a connection with the surrounding natural environment. As a key fixture of the Wapiti community, the school maintains the educational standards of the larger Park 6 district while operating with the distinct character of a small-town, mountain-based institution. Families interested in specific school programs, district policies, or enrollment information can find further details through the official Park 6 district website.
