Summary:
The Calamus-Wheatland Community School District in Iowa is home to a single high school, Calamus-Wheatland Sec Attendance Center, which serves grades 7-12. This school stands out as a relatively strong-performing institution within the district and the state of Iowa, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking of 121 out of 340 high schools.
Calamus-Wheatland Sec Attendance Center boasts an impressive 88.3% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state average. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics also generally exceed the state averages across multiple grade levels, indicating effective academic support for students. With a student-teacher ratio of 11.7 to 1 and spending of $13,932 per student (2018-2019), the school appears to have the resources to provide a quality education.
While the school serves a population with a significant economic need, with nearly 30% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, it is still able to achieve strong academic performance. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in the 2023-2024 school year may be an area for improvement, as addressing factors contributing to chronic absenteeism could further boost student engagement and outcomes.
