C-BAR-V RANCH

C-Bar-V Ranch is a public school that is part of the BOCES 5 school district, located in Wilson, WY with about 44 students offering grade levels from 1st Grade to 12th Grade. With about 13 teachers, C-Bar-V Ranch has a student/teacher ratio of about 3:1. 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.

The C-Bar-V Ranch, located in Wilson, Wyoming, serves as an experiential education facility operated by Teton County School District #1 through the Teton County BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services). Situated in a picturesque mountain setting, the ranch functions as a unique "outdoor classroom" designed to provide students with immersive, hands-on learning experiences that bridge the gap between traditional academic subjects and the natural world.

The facility is primarily used for K-12 field trips, retreats, and specialized programming that emphasizes environmental science, team building, and leadership development. By utilizing the ranch’s expansive wilderness environment, the school district provides students with opportunities to engage in outdoor activities—such as hiking, ecology studies, and conservation education—that foster both personal growth and a deeper connection to the local Teton ecosystem. It remains a vital community resource for enhancing the district's curriculum beyond the walls of a conventional school building.
