Wheatland Union High

The Wheatland Union High School District in California consists of three high schools: Wheatland Union High, Edward P. Duplex, and Wheatland Community Day High. The analysis of the data reveals significant differences in the performance and characteristics of these schools.

Wheatland Union High stands out as the strongest performing school in the district, with a high 4-year graduation rate of 96.9%, a low dropout rate of 1.8%, and academic proficiency rates that exceed the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Edward P. Duplex and Wheatland Community Day High appear to be struggling, with lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and significantly lower academic proficiency compared to Wheatland Union High and the state average.

The data also reveals high free/reduced lunch rates across the district, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population. Additionally, the smaller schools, Edward P. Duplex and Wheatland Community Day High, have lower student-teacher ratios, but this does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes based on the available data. The lack of recent data for Wheatland Community Day High also raises concerns about the school's current status and the district's ability to effectively monitor and support its alternative high school.
