Summary:
The Waterloo School District in Wisconsin has only one high school, Waterloo High, which serves students in grades 9-12. The data suggests that Waterloo High is facing some significant challenges in terms of academic performance and student outcomes.
Waterloo High's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 253rd out of 391 Wisconsin high schools in 2021-2022 to 319th out of 431 in 2023-2024. The school's performance rating by SchoolDigger has also decreased from 2 stars out of 5 to 1 star out of 5 during this time period. While the school's four-year graduation rate is slightly above the state average, its proficiency rates on various assessments, including the Forward Exam and ACT, are consistently below the state averages.
The data also indicates that Waterloo High has a relatively high percentage of students (39.61%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Despite the higher per-student spending compared to the state average, the school's performance metrics suggest that the resources may not be effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. Addressing these challenges could be a priority for the Waterloo School District to enhance the educational experiences and opportunities for students at Waterloo High.
