History

Casper Classical Academy began serving students in 1997 in Casper, Wyoming, with a 7th-9th grade enrollment of only 25 students, then called Fort Caspar Academy Middle School.  In 2000-2001, we officially became Casper Classical Academy and moved into our own building.  Since then, we have grown to a total of 470 students from grades 6 through 8. Our growth began in the 2006-2007 school year and incrementally increased each year.  Our growth has been possible thanks to an open enrollment policy in Natrona County School District #1, which allows students from any part of the district to attend our school. As such, we have no specific, localized neighborhood community. Our district has also seen increased enrollment over the years. 

Our Demographics

Our school truly represents all parts of the city. The demographics of our student population are varied. Over the last several years, we have had a slight increase in the percentage of students who qualify for assistance programs such as free or reduced lunch. We have had a few students who have qualified for assistance as English Language Learners, as well as an similar-to-our-past number of students who are characterized as At-Risk, or who have an Individualized Education Plan (12.8%) which is slightly increased. The student population we serve represents a wide range of families with varied socioeconomic backgrounds.
