Summary

Wawasee High School is the only high school in Syracuse, Indiana (Kosciusko County), serving 836 students in grades 9–12 as the sole high school of the Wawasee Community School Corp — which is why the district's graduation and attendance figures match the school's exactly.

Right now Wawasee High School holds 3 stars and ranks 173rd of 415 Indiana high schools (58th percentile) for 2025-26 — mid-pack in the region, and behind most nearby schools, including Westview Junior-Senior High School (94th percentile), North Wood High School (90th) and Northridge High School (87th). The bigger story is the up-and-down path: Wawasee spent most of the last decade in the 37th–47th percentile, then jumped 41 points to a program-best 78th percentile in 2023-24, before sliding back 20 percentile points in a single year — the largest two-year swing among its peer schools.

Strengths and struggles sit side by side. Biology is a genuine bright spot at 56.99% proficiency, second-highest in the comparison group and ahead of Northridge, North Wood and Warsaw Community High School. Low-income students rank in the 75th percentile and special-education students in the 67th — both above the school's own 58th-percentile standing. But SAT math sits at 14.93%, near the bottom of the region and about 10.7 points below the state, while graduation (86.0%) is the lowest in the group and chronic absenteeism (27.9%) is far above the state's 16.7%, though it has fallen sharply from 42.1%. Wawasee also spends the most per student ($13,840) with the second-smallest classes — notably more than Northridge's $9,901.
