High Schools in Calamus-Wheatland Community School District

The Calamus-Wheatland Community School District in Iowa is home to a single high school, Calamus-Wheatland Sec Attendance Center, which serves 196 students in grades 9-12. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high student-teacher ratio and spending per student, its overall performance and rankings are not exceptional compared to other high schools in the state.

Calamus-Wheatland Sec Attendance Center's academic performance, as measured by ISASP test scores, is mixed compared to state averages. The school performs well in some subject areas and grade levels, but lags behind the state average in others, particularly in 7th and 9th grade English Language Arts and 7th, 9th, and 11th grade Mathematics. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 131 out of 332 Iowa high schools in 2021-2022 to 217 out of 338 in 2023-2024, suggesting the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state.

While the school has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 32.14%, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from lower-income households, the school's racial makeup is relatively homogeneous, with 95.92% of students identifying as White. This lack of racial diversity may be an area for the school to address in order to better reflect the broader community it serves. Overall, Calamus-Wheatland Sec Attendance Center has room for improvement in its academic performance and statewide ranking, and may need to focus on addressing any underlying factors that may be impacting student success.
