Summary

Wahoo Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Wahoo, Nebraska, part of the Wahoo Public Schools district. With 242 students, Wahoo Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, ranking 21st out of 123 middle schools in Nebraska.

The school's strong academic performance extends to its work with special education and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking 3rd out of 70 Nebraska middle schools for special education and 23rd out of 92 for low-SES student performance. Wahoo Middle School has maintained a high level of performance over the years, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in 2018-2019 and 2017-2018, and a 4-star rating in most other years. However, the school has seen fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, an area it may want to focus on to improve student engagement and learning outcomes.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as North Bend Central Middle School and Ashland-Greenwood Middle School, Wahoo Middle School outperforms them in academic metrics. However, some schools, like Johnson Crossing Academic Center (5-6) and Fremont Middle School, have lower performance levels compared to Wahoo.
