Summary:
The Wallace District is home to a single high school, Wallace Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school has maintained a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years, indicating relatively stable performance.
Wallace Junior/Senior High School's strengths include a strong performance in English Language Arts (ELA), with proficiency rates consistently above the state average across all grade levels and end-of-course exams. However, the school's math proficiency rates are an area of concern, falling below the state average in all grade levels and end-of-course exams, presenting an opportunity for improvement. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8, suggesting smaller class sizes that can benefit student learning and engagement.
While the school's 82.3% four-year graduation rate in the 2023-2024 school year is a positive indicator, the 15.0% chronic absenteeism rate in the same year is slightly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as 37.24% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, which may impact academic performance and other outcomes.
