Grab your cowboy boots and head to the saloon because this historic western town is everything you’d imagine it to be. Filled with rolling hills, sprawling plains, mountainous terrain, and well-known bison ranches, Gillette is the epitome of a Wyoming suburb. It sounds like the ideal blend of natural landscape, and from where we’re standing, it just might be.
Gillette is situated in the northeastern corner of Wyoming, nestled between the Bighorn Mountains and the Black Hills in the Powder River Basin. Known for its production of the nation’s coal, it’s often referred to as the “Energy Capital of the Nation.” Though coal influenced its name, the supportive community and rich history is what keeps this suburb thriving. Residents of Gillette appreciate the abundance of city parks filled with athletic fields, dog parks, small lakes, and nature trails, not to mention the nearby golf courses.
Affordable living is key to the city with an abundance of apartments, various condos, and a few houses for rent. Gillette’s residential streets are safe, family-friendly, and come with stunning scenic views of the mountainous terrain right outside your front door.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
