Summary:

The Wendell District in Idaho has only one high school, Wendell High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has seen significant fluctuations in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 42nd in 2023-2024 to 110th out of 112 high schools in Idaho for the 2024-2025 school year, earning a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wendell High School's academic outcomes are concerning, with only 10.8% of students proficient or better in ISAT Math and 11.1% proficient or better in ISAT Science, well below the state averages. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.3% is also below the state average, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 15.0%. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the high percentage of students (50.15%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Despite the school's struggles, there are opportunities for improvement. Addressing the underlying issues, such as providing more resources and support for students and families, could be crucial in driving long-term improvements in Wendell High School's performance. Ensuring stable and effective management could also play a key role in helping the school overcome its current challenges and provide a high-quality learning environment for its students.
