Sheridan’s five elementary schools were ranked in the top seven elementary schools in the state. Niche ranked Sagebrush Elementary School No. 1 among Wyoming elementary schools, and Woodland Park No. 2. Henry A. Coffeen Elementary was ranked seventh among Wyoming elementary schools but was rated among Wyoming’s Top 5 Standout Elementary Schools due to its positive impact on economically disadvantaged students.

Sheridan Junior High School was ranked No. 2 among junior high schools in the state, but Niche noted that the top ranked school is a charter school. Sheridan Junior High School was the highest-rated 4A junior high school in Wyoming.

Sheridan High School was ranked No. 2 behind Jackson Hole High School.
