Wildorado School

Wildorado School is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in the Wildorado Independent School District, with a relatively small student population of 215. Despite its size, the school has consistently maintained an exceptional 100% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, significantly outperforming state averages.

Wildorado School's students excel academically, consistently outperforming the state and district averages in various STAAR subject areas, particularly in Reading and Science. For example, the school is projected to have 78.95% of 8th graders proficient or better in STAAR Reading, compared to the state average of 56.39%. This strong academic performance may be attributed to the school's high spending per student ($10,078 in 2020-2021) and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.3 to 11.6 over the past few years.

Compared to the nearby Amarillo Collegiate Academy, Wildorado School appears to be outperforming its peers in the region, with higher graduation rates, lower student-teacher ratios, and generally better test scores. However, the school may need to address potential equity concerns, as its free and reduced-price lunch rate has decreased, suggesting it may serve a relatively more affluent student population. Additionally, the school could focus on improving student outcomes in certain subject areas, such as Mathematics and Social Studies, to further enhance its overall academic performance.
