Summary:
Wayne City CUSD 100 has two schools serving 477 students: Wayne City Attendance Center serves PK–8 and enrolls 342 students, while Wayne City High School serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 135. Because they serve different grades and report different assessments, their proficiency rates do not support a fair overall school-versus-school ranking. The clearest current strength is at the Attendance Center: its all-grades IAR proficiency exceeds state results by 8 percentage points in ELA and 18 points in math.
The Attendance Center stands out most in math and in grades 4 and 6: its math advantage over the state is 18 points across all grades, and grade-level gaps reach 27 points in grade 4 math and 28 points in grade 6 math; grade 6 ELA is 32 points above the state. The high school’s ACT results are more mixed: grade 11 math is 3 points above the state, while ELA is 2 points below and science is 10 points below. So the strongest state-relative results are at the Attendance Center, while the clearest current shortfall is high-school ACT science—not an overall verdict that one school is best or worst.
Recent trends reinforce that contrast. At the Attendance Center, its all-grades IAR math advantage widened from 13 points in 2024–2025 to 18 in 2025–2026, while its ELA advantage narrowed from 13 to 8 points. At the high school, grade 9 PreACT math fell 25 points year over year as the state rose 4 points; the school’s position shifted from 21 points above the state to 8 below. SchoolDigger rankings also fell: the Attendance Center went from the 79th to the 61st percentile, and the high school from the 78th to the 52nd, between 2023–2024 and 2025–2026. In 2024–2025, the schools’ student-teacher ratios were 13.6 and 9.2, respectively; free/reduced lunch eligible rates were 46% and 34%. These are differences in school context, not explanations for test results.
