Summary:
The Wapello Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Wapello Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has an enrollment of 193 students and a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with a 38.34% free and reduced-price lunch rate.
Wapello Senior High School's academic performance varies across grade levels and subject areas. While the school performs better than the state average in 10th-grade English Language Arts, it lags behind in Mathematics and 11th/9th-grade English Language Arts. The school has consistently been ranked in the bottom third of Iowa high schools and maintains a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $16,649 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 11.4, the academic performance data suggests that these resources may not be translating into improved student outcomes. Addressing the academic performance gaps, particularly in Mathematics and upper-grade English Language Arts, as well as considering the impact of socioeconomic factors, could be important areas of focus for the school and district to improve student success.
