Wheatland High

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Wheatland High is a public high school located in Wheatland, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 136 students. Over the past decade, the school's performance has seen fluctuations, ranging from a high statewide ranking of 162 out of 504 Missouri high schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 398 out of 468 in 2017-2018. Currently, Wheatland High is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Wheatland High faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school has experienced a significant decline in its four-year graduation rate, dropping from 95.8% in 2021-2022 to 66.6% in 2023-2024, which is notably lower than the nearby Warsaw High School, which had a 92.8% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024. Additionally, Wheatland High's student performance on standardized tests, such as the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP), is consistently below the state averages, with only 28.7% of 7th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 43.2%. The school also experiences high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.6% to 20.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby Hermitage High, which had a chronic absenteeism rate of only 7.2% in 2023-2024.

Wheatland High serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.03% to 66.67% over the past few years. This is higher than the nearby Skyline High, which had a free and reduced lunch rate of 39.15% in 2023-2024. Despite these challenges, the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio (9.5 in 2023-2024) could potentially be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and support for students. Additionally, the school's proximity to other high-performing schools, such as Weaubleau High, may present opportunities for collaboration and shared best practices.
