Summary:
The Wheaton Area Public School District in Minnesota has only one high school, Wheaton Secondary, which serves grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 192 students. The school's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the district's averages, and often lags behind the state-level metrics, particularly in Math proficiency.
Wheaton Secondary's student population is predominantly White (81.25%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (8.85%) and students of two or more races (9.38%). The school's four-year graduation rate is 88.2%, which is respectable, but its dropout rate of 5.8% is relatively high. In terms of academic performance, Wheaton Secondary's proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments are generally lower than the state averages, especially in Math, where the school's 11th-grade proficiency rate was 25.93% compared to the state's 34.99%. However, the school performed better than the state average in Science, with a 50% proficiency rate on the End of Course assessment.
Overall, while Wheaton Area Public School District has only one high school, the data suggests that Wheaton Secondary has room for improvement, particularly in Math instruction and supporting students to reduce the dropout rate. The school may benefit from learning from and collaborating with higher-performing schools or districts to identify best practices and strategies for enhancing its academic outcomes and better serving its student population.
