Summary

Wyandotte High is a public high school in Kansas City, Kansas, serving 1,841 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Kansas City school district, which is ranked 257 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wyandotte High has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in Kansas over the past decade, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of schools statewide. The school has received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 years, indicating very poor academic performance. Only 8.83% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 37.93% statewide and 20.59% in the Kansas City district. In mathematics, only 5.26% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better, compared to 33.59% statewide and 13.71% in the district. Wyandotte High also has a low four-year graduation rate of 89.5% and an extremely high rate of chronic absenteeism at 62.0%, compared to the state average of 19.5%.

While Wyandotte High's performance is consistently lower than that of nearby high schools, such as Washington High and F.L. Schlagle High, which are also part of the Kansas City school district, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The combination of low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and high poverty levels at Wyandotte High suggests that the school may need targeted interventions and support services to address the underlying factors contributing to these issues.

The teachers are really cool, but the students were one of the worst students i ever had to work with! If you need help, they are always willing to help, but they are not as up to date on curriculum as they should be... Close Quote
