Summary:
The WACO Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, WACO High School, which serves 215 students from grades 9-12. The school's academic performance varies, with strong proficiency in English Language Arts but more mixed results in Mathematics and Science compared to state averages.
WACO High School's English Language Arts proficiency rates range from 64.1% to 90.6% across different grade levels, exceeding the state average of 73.8% to 77.5%. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates are more uneven, ranging from 55.6% to 78.1%, compared to the state average of 63.3% to 66%. In Science, the school's proficiency rates are generally on par with the state average.
Despite the school's relatively strong academic performance in some areas, its statewide ranking has declined from 64th out of 332 schools in 2021-2022 to 183rd out of 338 schools in 2023-2024. This suggests the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. Additionally, 41.4% of WACO High School students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio may reflect efforts to support these students.
