Summary:
The Wautoma Area School District has a single high school, Wautoma High, serving grades 9-12. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 261 to 303 out of over 400 schools, its overall rating by SchoolDigger is below the state average at 2 out of 5 stars.
Academically, Wautoma High has seen mixed results, with proficiency rates in some subjects, such as English Language Arts and Science, slightly above the state average, but lower performance in areas like Social Studies and Mathematics. The school's four-year graduation rate of 91% is slightly higher than the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 17.7% is also higher than the state norm. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly more than the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $14,901, compared to the state average, its overall performance, as measured by statewide rankings and proficiency rates, remains below average. This suggests that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges, and further investigation would be necessary to develop targeted strategies for improvement.
