Summary

While Weskan High has maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, it has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 2.0% to 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year. Compared to the nearby Wallace County High, Weskan High's test scores are generally lower, with Wallace County High outperforming Weskan High in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 10th grade and all grades. Weskan High serves a population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 29.17% to 38.24% over the past few years.

The school's performance has been quite variable, and the sharp increase in chronic absenteeism is a concerning trend that the Weskan school district should investigate and address. While Weskan High has shown some strengths in certain subject areas, its overall academic performance suggests the need for improved academic programs and support systems to better prepare students for standardized assessments.
