Summary:
Wapahani High School is the only high school in Liberty-Perry Community School Corp, serving grades 9–12 in the Selma area of Delaware County, Indiana. With 349 students — roughly 85–90 per grade — there are no in-district peers to compare against, so the meaningful benchmarks are Indiana state averages and the school's own history. About 50.43% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $13,116 (2023–24, district), and the student–teacher ratio is 17:1. The district ranks 68th of 374 in Indiana (82nd percentile, 4 stars), while the high school itself ranks 144th of 415 (65th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26.
Where the school shines is completion. Its 96.6% graduation rate is 6.9 percentage points above the state's 89.7%. Biology proficiency (ILEARN End of Course) climbed to 64.04% in 2025–26 from 51.11% the year before — and that earlier figure was already 5.5 points above the state's 45.6%. SAT Math also improved, rising to 18.84% from 10.59%.
Where it lags is reading and writing, math, and attendance. SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing dropped 9.46 points to 43.48%, about 8.4 points below the state's 51.9%. SAT Math, despite its gain, is still 6.8 points below the state's 25.6%. Chronic absenteeism is 23.3% — 6.6 points above the state (16.7%) and 5.7 points above the district's own 17.6%, an unusual case of the high school trailing its district. The school's rank has swung from the 74th to the 50th to the 65th percentile over three years. Because these percentages rest on small grade-level cohorts, a handful of students can move results by several points, so any single year deserves caution.
