Summary:
The Wheaton Area Public School District in Minnesota has only one high school, Wheaton Secondary, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance and characteristics provide a mixed picture, with some areas of strength and others that could use improvement.
Wheaton Secondary is ranked 201 out of 450 Minnesota high schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 197 to 221. The school's four-year graduation rate is 84.2%, with a dropout rate of 4.4%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally below the state averages, particularly in math, though its 10th-grade reading proficiency rate exceeds the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as Wheaton Secondary has a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families, with 45.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's student-teacher ratio is 13.4. To address these challenges, the school could focus on improving its math instruction, providing targeted support for students from low-income backgrounds, and working to maintain more consistent academic performance over time.
