Summary:
The Wheatland school district in Kansas has two schools - Wheatland Elementary School and Wheatland High School. Both schools serve a relatively small student population, with Wheatland Elementary having 59 students and Wheatland High having 40 students.
Wheatland Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, with students consistently outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's strong academic performance may be attributed to its high spending per student ($19,808) and low student-teacher ratio of 10.8. In contrast, Wheatland High School has a more mixed academic performance, with 10th-grade students performing at or slightly below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
While both schools have impressive graduation rates, with Wheatland High School boasting an 89.5% four-year graduation rate, they also face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates (19.5%) and significant populations of economically disadvantaged students (45.76% at Wheatland Elementary School and 57.5% at Wheatland High School). These factors may require targeted support and resources to address the unique needs of the student population.
