Summary:
Zip code 67737 has two schools: Wheatland Elementary School, serving pre-K through grade 4, and Wheatland High School, serving grades 9–12; together they enroll 99 students. The clearest finding is a sharp split in 2025–2026 results: the elementary school was above the state in both reported subjects, while the high school was below the state in ELA, math, and science.
Wheatland Elementary leads the two schools in ELA and math, with 54% proficiency in each subject, compared with 29% ELA and 36% math at Wheatland High. That is a 25-point elementary lead in ELA and an 18-point lead in math. Elementary results were 8 points above the state in ELA and 13 points above in math; the high school was 17 points below the state in ELA and 5 points below in math. The high school’s science result was also low: 18%, versus 38% statewide, a 21-point gap.
The high school’s test results fell from the prior year: ELA dropped 9 points and math 11 points, even as state results rose in both subjects. Elementary ELA slipped 2 points, while its math increased 4 points. SchoolDigger’s high-school percentile fell from 67 to 25. Other measures are more positive for the high school: its graduation rate was 100%, compared with 90% statewide, and chronic absenteeism was 9%, versus 18% statewide. Its student-teacher ratio was 6.4, compared with 12.2 at the elementary school; its free/reduced-lunch rate was 59%, versus 48%. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades scores are not like-for-like comparisons, and two years of results do not establish a long-term trend.
