Wheatland High School

Summary:

Wheatland High School is a small public high school in Grainfield, Kansas, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of just 39 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has faced fluctuating academic performance over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 2nd out of 298 Kansas high schools in 2010-2011 to 201st out of 324 in 2021-2022.

Wheatland High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (22.21% for all grades) and Mathematics (28.57% for all grades) are significantly lower than the state averages, though its Science proficiency rate for 11th grade (41.66%) is notably higher. The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 35.14% to 51.61% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. However, Wheatland High's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 3.4 to 4.0 students per teacher, suggests a high level of individual attention and support for students.

Compared to nearby schools like Hoxie High and Quinter Junior-Senior High, both of which have larger student populations and higher statewide rankings, Wheatland High School faces some academic challenges. The school's fluctuating performance suggests a need for a deeper analysis of the factors contributing to these variations, while its strengths, such as the high Science proficiency and low student-teacher ratio, provide opportunities for targeted interventions and improvements to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
