Wapello Community School District


Summary:

The Wapello Community School District consists of three schools: Wapello Elementary School, Wapello Senior High School, and Wapello Junior High School. The district serves students from elementary through high school, providing a comprehensive education in the local community.

Wapello Elementary School stands out for its relatively strong performance in Mathematics and Science, exceeding the state average in many grade levels. However, the school lags behind in English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Wapello Senior High School performs well in English Language Arts but struggles in Mathematics and Science compared to state averages. Wapello Junior High School excels in Mathematics but has lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts.

The data also reveals differences in socioeconomic factors across the schools, with the junior high and high school having higher free and reduced lunch rates compared to the elementary school. This suggests the district may face more socioeconomic challenges at the secondary level. Additionally, the lower spending per student at the junior high school level could be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance in certain subjects. Overall, the district shows a need for more consistency in academic performance across grade levels and a closer examination of curriculum, teaching practices, and support systems to address areas of underperformance.
