Summary:
The Wautoma Area School District has only one high school, Wautoma High, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a higher-than-average four-year graduation rate and a lower dropout rate compared to the state, its overall performance has declined in recent years, with a drop in its statewide ranking and performance rating.
Academically, Wautoma High's proficiency rates on the Forward Exam/Social Studies and ACT/Mathematics are lower than the state averages, though its ACT/English Language Arts proficiency is higher. The school also faces challenges with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population. Despite these challenges, Wautoma High has a higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state averages.
Overall, the analysis suggests that Wautoma High may need to focus on improving its academic performance, particularly in subject areas where proficiency rates are lagging behind the state. The school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may also require additional support and resources to ensure their academic and social-emotional needs are being met. While the school's higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio indicate a commitment to investing in its educational program, the impact on student outcomes has not been as evident in recent years.
