Wauseon Exempted Village

The Wauseon Exempted Village school district in Ohio comprises four schools: two elementary schools (Wauseon Primary School and Wauseon Elementary School), one middle school (Wauseon Middle School), and one high school (Wauseon High School). The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation across the schools.

Among the standout schools in the district, Wauseon Middle School consistently ranks in the top 30% of Ohio middle schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students excel on state tests, with impressive proficiency rates in subjects like 8th grade Science, 6th grade Math, and 7th grade English Language Arts. Wauseon High School also stands out, with a strong 97.9% four-year graduation rate and its students outperforming the state average on End of Course exams across multiple subjects.

While the Wauseon Exempted Village district generally performs well academically, there are some areas of concern. The significant variation in free/reduced lunch rates across the schools suggests potential equity issues, and the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the high school level, may be an area that the district should address. Overall, the district appears to be on the right track, with several standout schools and strong academic outcomes, but continued efforts to address equity and attendance challenges could further improve the educational experience for all students.
