Wahoo Public Schools

Summary:

The Wahoo Public Schools district in Nebraska consists of three schools: Wahoo Elementary School, Wahoo High School, and Wahoo Middle School. The district demonstrates consistently high academic performance, with all three schools performing well above the state averages on various standardized tests.

Wahoo High School stands out as a particularly strong performer, ranking 27th out of 168 Nebraska high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive ACT scores, with 65.75% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 69.86% in Mathematics, and 67.12% in Science. Additionally, Wahoo High School maintains a high 88.1% four-year graduation rate.

While the district as a whole demonstrates excellence, there are some areas that could benefit from further attention. All three Wahoo Public Schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is an area that could be improved. Additionally, the higher free and reduced lunch rates at the Wahoo Middle School and Wahoo Elementary School may indicate potential equity concerns that could be further investigated.
