Despite the school's high per-student spending of $35,734 and a low student-teacher ratio of 6.4 to 1, Wheatland High School faces challenges, such as a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%. The school's resource allocation and the utilization of these resources to drive student outcomes could be an area for further investigation. Overall, Wheatland High School appears to have some strengths, but also faces unique challenges that may require targeted interventions and support to improve student performance and outcomes.
