Summary:
The Wapello Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Wapello Senior High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state, ranking 247 out of 340 Iowa high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Wapello Senior High School has a 88.3% four-year graduation rate, slightly below the state average, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages. Additionally, 39.66% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($16,649) and relatively small class sizes (student-teacher ratio of 11.7), its overall performance remains below par.
The data suggests that Wapello Senior High School is a struggling school that needs to address a range of issues, including declining performance, disparities in test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population. Targeted interventions and a comprehensive improvement plan may be necessary to help the school improve its outcomes and better serve its students.
