The school's per-student spending of $16,852 for the 2018-2019 school year is higher than the national average, but it's unclear if this translates to better educational outcomes.

Overall, Wolcott High School appears to be a moderately performing high school within the state, with fluctuating rankings, mixed academic performance, and higher-than-average spending.

While the school has some areas of strength, such as its graduation rate and attendance, there are also opportunities for improvement in academic achievement and consistency in school rankings.
