SAINT STEPHEN'S INDIAN SCHOOL

Saint Stephen's Indian School is a public school with about 245 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 22 teachers, Saint Stephen's Indian School has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

Saint Stephen’s Indian School, located on the Wind River Indian Reservation in St. Stephens, Wyoming, is a K-12 educational institution with a deep-rooted commitment to serving the Northern Arapaho people. Founded in the late 19th century as a mission school, it has evolved into a tribally controlled grant school. The institution places a high priority on preserving the cultural heritage, language, and traditions of the Arapaho Tribe, integrating these elements into a comprehensive academic curriculum designed to prepare students for success in both higher education and the modern workforce.

Beyond its academic offerings, the school serves as a vital community hub that addresses the holistic needs of its students. By fostering an environment that balances rigorous Western education with indigenous knowledge and values, Saint Stephen’s aims to instill a strong sense of identity and resilience in its youth. The school works closely with families and tribal leadership to support student development, striving to overcome the unique socio-economic challenges faced by the local community while promoting self-determination and academic excellence.
