Summary

Wayne High School is a public high school located in Wayne, Oklahoma, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 151 students. The school is part of the Wayne School District, which is ranked 330 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Wayne High School consistently underperforms compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 26% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 0% in Mathematics, and 3% in Science, all significantly lower than the state averages. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, ranging from 81.1% to 94.6%, with the lower end being concerning. Additionally, Wayne High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 2.2% to 19.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Wayne High School to nearby schools, such as Dibble High School and Lindsay High School, both within 20 miles, the data reveals that these schools have higher academic performance, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the challenges faced by Wayne High School may be unique to the school or district, rather than a broader regional issue. Additionally, the school's spending per student, at $11,613 in the 2018-2019 school year, is higher than the state average, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the potential need to explore ways to optimize spending to improve student outcomes.
