Summary:
The city of Wendell, Idaho is home to three public schools - Wendell Elementary School, Wendell Middle School, and Wendell High School - which collectively serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Unfortunately, the data indicates that the schools in the Wendell District are consistently underperforming compared to other schools across the state of Idaho.
None of the Wendell schools can be considered standouts, as they all rank in the bottom 10-50% of their respective school types in Idaho. Wendell Elementary School and Wendell Middle School have particularly low 0-star ratings, while Wendell High School fares slightly better with a 1-2 star rating. Across the district, the student populations are predominantly Hispanic, with high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility and chronic absenteeism, suggesting socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting academic performance.
The per-student spending also varies significantly between the schools, from $7,016 at Wendell Middle School to $9,310 at Wendell High School. Overall, the data paints a picture of a school district that is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, and addressing the systemic challenges, socioeconomic factors, and racial disparities will likely be key to improving outcomes for the Wendell schools.
