Libbey Elementary is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Platte County School District #1 school district, located in Wheatland, WY with about 210 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 2nd Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
