Summary:

The 68786 zip code area is home to a single high school, Wausa High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. This small, predominantly White school has a total enrollment of 114 students and is part of the Wausa Public Schools district.

Wausa High School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates on the ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science assessments at 38.1%, 23.81%, and 19.04%, respectively. On the NSCAS tests, the school's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state averages in 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, but its 8th grade Science proficiency rate of 76% exceeds the state average of 64%. The school's ranking and rating from SchoolDigger have fluctuated in recent years, with a high of 5 stars in 2020-2021 and a lower 2-star rating in the most recent two school years.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $20,570 and a student-to-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1, the impact of these resources on academic outcomes is not entirely clear. The lack of racial diversity, with over 94% of students identifying as White, may be a reflection of the demographics of the surrounding community. Overall, Wausa High School appears to be a small, modestly performing school with some areas of strength and others that could benefit from further improvement.
